National Association of Christian Ministers

Paul Tackett★☆☆☆☆8 months ago

One star. If I could give zero, I would. I joined the National Association of Christian Ministers expecting fellowship, integrity, and the support they claim all over their website. What I found was a wall of AI generated promotional fluff, generic spiritual slogans, and a complete absence of the accountability they advertise. Their pages talk about prayerful examination and high ethical standards, but the moment you stand on actual Bible truth and speak plainly, they shut you out and pretend you do not exist. After paying for membership and completing their requirements, I suddenly lost access with no warning. No email. No explanation. No conversation. Just locked out and ignored. They continued to advertise their program while refusing to respond to a simple question or a request for help. If a real Christian ministry believes in transparency and shepherding, this is the opposite. Their site is filled with cookie cutter paragraphs that read like they were copied, pasted, and machine generated for marketing purposes. There is nothing personal, nothing pastoral, nothing shepherd like about how they treat people once they have taken your money. They talk about unity but will not speak to a member. They talk about professionalism but cannot return a single message. They talk about Christian ethics but will not honor the most basic responsibility of addressing an issue they created. Nothing reveals the character of a ministry faster than how they respond when something goes wrong. In this case, they hid. They refused communication. They kept the payment. They left me without access to what I rightfully paid for. A ministry that behaves like that is not a ministry. It is a storefront with Bible verses taped to the window. I asked for help. Silence. I asked for clarity. Silence. I asked for access or a refund. Silence. That is all anyone needs to know. If a minister is looking for genuine fellowship, real accountability, and people who actually follow the Scriptures they quote, look elsewhere. There are many faithful groups that honor the Lord and treat believers with the respect commanded in Scripture. My experience here was the very definition of the opposite. I am leaving this review to warn others so that no one else pays for something they cannot access and then gets ignored when they ask for the support they were promised. This review is not written lightly. I gave them every chance to respond. They chose silence. Let this stand as the record. Proceed with caution. P S What makes this even worse is that they perform background checks on ministers while refusing to show their own faces or offer any form of personal accountability. The entire operation hides behind anonymous elders, anonymous emails, and anonymous decisions. Their website is filled with AI generated content and stock images that give the illusion of professionalism but reveal nothing about the people making these judgments. My first impression was that something felt off and I should have trusted that discernment. A ministerial association that will not even speak to its ministers is not an association at all. It is a facade. If anyone is seeking real credentials or real fellowship, do not waste your time here. What I experienced was shallow, impersonal, and spiritually empty. True ministry does not come from anonymous boards or AI created spirituality. It comes from a real walk with God and real service to people. If you want formal recognition, there are legitimate associations that operate in the light and stand behind their decisions with transparency. This one does not. And for that reason, I warn every sincere believer to look elsewhere.

This Fellowship is not like a lot of other online minister/ordination organizations. Where they just hand out licenses to anybody. You have to show proof that you have a call from the Lord. Through a Q.A with an elder of the Fellowship. Have Past or current ministerial experience. Agree to biblical bylaws of the Fellowship. Pass a criminal background check and sex offender check. Along with a look into social media accounts. Staying connected after you have been approved. They resources for ministry. Fellowship with other ministers and gathering.

So very disappointed with this organization until I filed a complaint with the state of Arkansas. First this company failed to protect my personal information. I was contacted by one of their students by the name of Brian to solicit money from an orphanage in Kenya. I kindly sent an email to Elder Neihmer concerning what had happened and notifying this organization of what happened. As an Alumni of a College University this is an unacceptable way to treat a student especially by organization that is supposed to represent a Christian school. Instead of this organization contacting me after the kind professional email I sent concerning this matter , to express some concern they did nothing. I thought they would do what is Holy. They are supposed to represent Christian ethics but instead I never hear back and they blocked me from entering into the courses as though I had done something wrong . After multiple attempts, I realized either this is a phony organization that has established this website to con citizens out of their money as I have been a victim and treated very poorly by this organization that is supposed to be Christian people. Why would you block a student from their courses who have done nothing after they notify you concerning their personal information has not been protected? Seems really strange.This is just another money making organization who careless about you as a student. I’m very disappointed with the way I was treated. Shame on you all, Shame on you Elder Neihmer this is not the way you treat Gods children. Do not use this organization for your credentials.

I attended a local Bible School & did an internship for approx 4 yrs then became a Licensed Minister. Sadly after 15-20 yrs the school folded and hundreds of us lost our annual credentials. I had to scramble as the profession I am in requires current credentials. Thank God I found NACM!!! I sent all my courses, transcripts, prior Licenses & validated the 15 years experience as a Hospice Chaplain and PTL they accepted everything! They were a life saver! God makes a way....
