OVERVIEW OF THE PROGRAM

The Home Temple qualifies and trains people for Apostolic Ordination as Deacon, Priest, and Bishop. There are no fees for Ordination or any other religious services. However, 
Candidates for Ordination to Priesthood or Consecration as a Bishop must travel to a Bishop of the Home Temple Synod at their own expense for an Ordination Seminar by the Presiding Bishops. 
Those who have completed the Diaconate Studies have the option of attending an Ordination Seminar for hands-on Ordination to Diaconate, or if travel is too expensive 
or inconvenient, being granted a license of authorization to operate as a Deacon until completion for requirements for Ordination to Priesthood, at which time with approval of the Presiding Bishop he/she must 
arrange an Ordination Weekend with a Home Temple Bishop for orientation and valid hands-on Apostolic Ordination or Consecration. 

The Home Temple charges no tuition and fees for home-study training materials, seminars, testing, other training-related events or materials, or Ordination/Consecration.
