Having been ordained through World Harvest Church Ministerial Fellowship, Columbus, Ohio, let by Pastor Rod Parsley, we have included on our site the Statement of Ethical
Conduct which ministers must adhere to. This is not a "credential mill" as you might find on the internet, rather, we are blessed to share in the anointing upon the life of Pastor Parsley. For more
information, visit www.rodparsley.com.
Code of Ethical Conduct
"And Jesus came and spake unto them saying, 'All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the
Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
Members of the World Harvest Church Ministerial Fellowship are expected to operate within the five-fold ministries as described in Ephesians 4, ("And he gave some, apostles, and
some prophets, and some, evangelists, and some pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ. . . "), and to demonstrate the
self-discipline instructed in Colossians 3. (Put on, therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; Forbearing one another, and forgiving
one another, if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye.")
Toward this end, it is mandatory that members of the Fellowship agree to be held accountable to all Biblical and ethical standards, and agree to pursue a life of holiness as outlined
below:
- Live a life in the Holy Spirit and the requirements of the Scriptures regarding ethics, integrity, and moral purity.
- Maintain a life of sexual integrity.
- Live a life of marital fidelity as outlined in the Scriptures.
- Walk in integrity and model financial accountability in ministry and personal affairs.
- In every area of life, abstaining from anything that might be improper, or give the suggestion of impropriety, so as to remain above reproach and not cause the brethren to
stumble.
Membership in the Fellowship will be withheld from applicants or members found not to be exhibiting these characteristics, and/or modeling a lifestyle outside of these guidelines.
