Costs and Payments

What Membership Costs

We believe you should understand exactly what is being asked of you, and where it goes, before you commit to anything.

Two Things to Understand

An Application Fee, Then Monthly Dues

There are only two ordinary costs of membership, and they work differently from one another.

Paid once

Application Fee

A single payment made at the start. It covers the whole of admission and onboarding — processing your application, your orientation, and the work of bringing you before your District Overseer.

You pay it once, and there is nothing further to pay to join. It is non-recurring and is not repeated.

Application fees cover the administrative processing of your application and do not guarantee acceptance into Kingdom Global Fellowship.

Payable early in your application, before orientation
Paid monthly

Monthly Dues

An ongoing contribution that sustains the fellowship month by month. The amount is set according to your rank, so what is asked of a Minister in Training differs from what is asked of a Senior Minister.

They begin only once your District Overseer has received you and your AMI number has been issued. You can set them to pay automatically, or pay each month yourself.

Payable monthly, from the day your AMI is issued
Why Pricing Differs

Set for Each Country

KGF serves members across several continents, where incomes and currencies differ enormously. A figure that is reasonable in one country can be impossible in another.

So both the application fee and monthly dues are set separately for each country, in that country’s own currency, by the Global Office. You are shown the exact figures that apply to you during your application, before anything becomes payable.

This is also why you will not find a price list on this page. Publishing one figure would be wrong for almost everybody reading it.

In Practice

What You Will See

During your application, once you have told us which country you serve in, we show you the application fee and the monthly dues for your rank in your local currency.

Your dues do not begin until your membership is approved and your AMI number is issued.

Where It Goes

The Office Funding Principle

Dues are not collected centrally and spent centrally. They are divided between the four levels of the fellowship, each of which carries real responsibility for its members.

District Office

Your local leadership — meetings, pastoral care, interviews, and the district events you attend.

Regional Office

Oversight across districts, regional conferences, and the development of new districts.

National Office

National governance, convocations, and representation of KGF in your country.

Global Office

Doctrine, credentials, training standards, and the administration that holds the fellowship together.

The proportions sent to each office are set by KGF governance and applied consistently to every payment. In the member portal you can see every charge raised against your membership, every payment received, and which charges each payment settled. How a payment is then divided between offices is a matter for the fellowship's accounts and is not shown on your own record.

Other Costs

Training and Ordination

Beyond membership itself, some paths carry their own costs. None of them is required to be a member in good standing.

Courses

Training through the Melchizedek Theological Training Center is priced per course, in your local currency.

Ordination

The ordination process carries its own cost. Where a country permits it, this can be paid over several months rather than at once.

Events

Conferences and convocations may carry a registration fee, set by the office hosting them.
