Frequently Asked Questions

A: We are a non-denominational ministry that welcomes any and all Bible believing Christians as members. Yes, the Templars were catholic. In the 1100’s when they formed, ALL Christians were Catholic.  The Protestant Reformation did not begin until the 1500’s, when Martin Luther got the ball rolling.

A:  FIRST AND FOREMOST, YOU MUST BE A BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIAN AND A MEMBER (IN GOOD STANDING) OF A BIBLE BELIEVING CHRISTIAN CHURCH!!!
(If you do not currently have a Church to call home, we can Certainly help you find one!)

Then......

Here is the process:
1.  Send an email including a little bit about you, your walk in faith (history and such), and why you would like to join Army of Christ Ministry to AoC4God@gmail.com
2. After receiving your email, we will set up a meet with you. Our ministry President, as well as one of our elders, will attend. 
This is primarily to make sure you understand our history and purpose, and why we were founded.
3. Then, after 90 days (from the date of your email), if you feel that AoC is the place for you.....you will be provided with a membership kit, and can order your SHIELD. (We don't call it a patch, colors, cut, etc.  We call it the shield, as it represents the Shield of Faith in Ephesians 6:16). 
The cost of a shield kit is $175.00
(This is due to the intricacy or the design, excessively high stitch count, and types of thread used.). Kit includes back Shield, front small Shield, name patch, and M/M patch. 
Part of the purpose for the 90 days is also to give you time to meet this expense. 

A: Nothing! Membership is free! If you feel moved to contribute to the cost of supplies, or help a new member with the cost of a vest or patch, that is for you to decide. Help as the spirit moves you. We will be holding fund raising activities for these purposes as the ministry grows. We do strongly encourage members to try to donate at least $10/month, but this is by no means a requirement!

(The membership patch kit does cost $175.00 which is the responsibility of the member.)

A:  We hope that you will attend as many functions as possible. It is important that we make our presence known at local events as much as we can, but you are not required to attend any function. Meetings are not mandatory, however we DO require attendance at at least 6 of our 12 monthly meetings per yer, in order to remain an active member in good standing.

A: Our President is our found, Rev. Bob (Dubltap) Schmidt. Our TRUE leader, however, is GOD!!! God, the Father......God, the Son......and God, the Holy Spirit! We follow HIS rule, and HIS law!! Within the ministry, we have officers and elders. Our Elders serve the purpose of guiding our members, in order to ensure that policies and procedures of AoC are followed accordingly. They also serve as guides, or counselors, as needed.
