Foursquare bylaws require that all licensed ministers be approved by the executive committee of the Foursquare board of directors. This committee meets weekly to review and approve the ministerial appointments for candidates that have completed the licensing process and received an endorsement from the interview panel. Prior to board presentation, the candidate will be asked to pay their annual licensing fee. Upon approval, the credentialed minister will be officially appointed to a ministry assignment with a notification sent to the ministry sponsor.
