1. Deviation from clearly moral behaviors:
First and foremost it is the position of the Levite Ministry to help those we serve. Folks that are ordained by the Levite Ministry will always enjoy a priority of restoration. Revocation of ordination can only happen if the ordained has definitively decided to pursue a moral path that clearly deviates from his/her own conscience and/or the written standards of the Bible. In the event that the ordained desires practical help toward recovery, healing, and change, the Levite Ministry will provide every possible resource to assist this process. A temporary leave of absence in the ministry field may be necessary depending on the nature of the issue.
2. Membership Fees and Dues:
The Levite Ministry has no membership fees or set annual dues. We do expect each ordained member to provide an offering of any amount by one of two annual dates: January 1st and/or July 1st. We would hope that routine offerings would be extended to the Levite Ministry whenever possible.
3. Areas of ministry:
The Levite Ministry currently provides ministry opportunities in several fields. We are always looking to expand these fields to include unique opportunities to serve in the name and with the presence of Christ Jesus.
Public School tutoring. This takes place during school hours and the Chaplain is expected to undergo a special training day and to provide a mentoring and nurturing atmosphere to the children she/he is tutoring.
Hospice Companion Care. This requires additional training, usually two full days. The nature of this intervention includes respite care, care-giver relief, vigil watch, and spiritual care upon request.
Emergency Response. Levite Ministry provides respite tent and Critical Incident Stress relief in crisis/disaster. We also provide avenues toward search and rescue. Significant additional training is required.
Unique Chaplaincy Approaches. We believe that every venue that mankind can create, a chaplain can find a place in it, be it bars, prison, or Rodeo Drive. The dregs of the earth in Jesus’ day enjoyed being around Him. Jesus went to the hangouts where the religious order of the day would not dare be seen. Unfortunately, much of the religious institution of this day has the same distain for these precious people. We welcome your advocacy for any field in which the Lord has called you. This will require an additional step to include presenting your people group, your intervention strategy, the goal of your intervention, and your personal fortification strategy. This will need to be in essay form, and a follow-up meeting with the board will be required.
