If you search "how to become an ordained minister" on Google, you will find more than eight million search results. While there is a lot of useful information online about ordination, there is also a lot of misinformation.
How do you know what information is accurate?
The answer to that question depends on what you want to know regarding ordination. Many pastors do not realize that there is both a spiritual aspect and legal aspect to consider.
On this week's podcast Johnny walks you through 10 steps to creating a legal ordination process.

With all of the rules and regulations that churches are expected to follow, you may often wonder, “How is a church supposed to operate efficiently while staying in compliance with so many regulations? And how am I supposed to figure this all out alone?”  No matter how much experience you may have, it is likely that you, along with hundreds of other pastors, are not aware that there are specific rules regarding who serves on your board, especially when it comes to family and employees. 
For many, the “board of directors” can be a very delicate topic. Generally, a board consists of individuals that you truly know and trust. These are the individuals who have been pillars to lean on during the good times and the not-so-good times, the people who are going to help you make the tough decisions that a pastor makes on a daily basis, and those who help make ministry life less lonely. 
Because the board of directors is such an integral part of the church, it is essential to know how the IRS views the board of directors (or governing body) of a nonprofit organization and what it truly means to have a “balanced board of directors.”
