credibility and accountability

Credentialing helps ensure that ACOP leaders are credible, accountable, and fully committed.

"When I think of being credentialed, I think of the NHL draft and how when they bring somebody onto a team, they give them a jersey and the player pulls it on...it feels like to me, credentialing is like pulling on the jersey and saying "I'm in, I'm part of this team."

    Its important because it establishes and confirms that you’re not a one man show who is not accountable to anyone for anything being done or said. When credentialed, it confirms that you are part of, and abide by, a certain set of rules and standards and maintain a specific belief.

    It makes it clear who you are standing with, accountable to, what you believe and also that youre legitimate since there is a process behind being credentialed, its not just a matter of paying for a title, its a process of proving leadership and calling.

    Respond in paragraph format to the following prompt(s):

    • In the interview clip with Stan Powers, he said that credentialling “defined the relationship” between ACOP and the credential holder. Why is that important?
    • What are the benefits of holding Credentials with ACOP?

    The importance of credentialling according to Stan Powers, it is the formalizing relationship. “I’m in”. Building accountability and relationship. Same thing if you love a person, you’re committed to one another. Taking the full responsibility in your commitment in Gods call in your life.

    <font face=”inherit”>The benefits in holding credentials, </font>you’re<font face=”inherit”> not alone. You are building relationship with the same vision and mission which is to serve the Lord. You’re joining a team and be a part of the team.</font>
