Boonville Ave. Springfield, MO 65802 QUESTIONS: Contact chartering coordinator Phone: 417-862-2781 x.4181 Email: rangers@ag.org Website: royalrangers.com Independent Churches & Mainline Evangelical Denominations being Pentecostal or Pentecostal-friendly, Application p.2 Royal Rangers Requirements for Chartering: 1. The church must affirm the divinity of Christ; that Jesus is God, and that he is the only way for mankind to restore relationship with God. Jesus is savior, healer, baptizer, and soon coming king. 2. The church must be Pentecostal, Pentecostal-friendly, or aware and comfortable affiliating with a Pentecostal ministry: Royal Rangers is decidedly Pentecostal. But as a matter of practice, Royal Rangers does not govern how autonomous local churches teach its curriculum. Provided the local church does not depart from salvation through Jesus Christ alone (see #1 above), the church is free to emphasize the doctrinal themes offered in the Royal Rangers curricula to the degree they wish. However, at organizational events, churches and individuals can expect a Pentecostal emphasis: the message that Jesus freely offers salvation for our soul, healing for our body and mind, empowerment with his Holy Spirit subsequent to salvation for a life of service, and hope of eternity with Him after His second coming. Any church choosing to associate with Royal Rangers accepts this and agrees to work cooperatively and harmoniously with the Assemblies of God and other like-minded fellowships who share a vision to mentor future men. 3. The church and its leadership agree to support and model the national Royal Rangers leadership standard (found on the national ministry website). 4. The church agrees to work in alignment with the policies and procedures of the Royal Rangers ministry and use copyright materials and trademarks according to our guidelines. (The acceptable use policy of the ministry emblems and trademarks and other policies can be found on the national ministry website.) 5. The church agrees to serve in harmony with other fellowships using Royal Rangers and endeavor in word and deed to make “Royal Rangers the premier church ministry for next generation men in America, period!” 6. The church agrees to purchase original/official ministry resources and gear from the national Royal Rangers office via its authorized outlets (RoyalRangers.com; MyHealthyChurch.com; GospelPublishing.com; 1-855-642-2011, customer care; and annual ministry catalog). 7. The national Royal Rangers office strongly recommends that every church sponsoring Royal Rangers review and implement our recommendation for screening and supervision of adult leaders who work with minors. The local church is responsible for screening and approving adult leaders to work with minors. (Recommendations can be found on the national ministry website.) 8. Royal Rangers provides quality training for outpost leaders approved by their local church. All churches sponsoring Royal Rangers will encourage each leader to complete his or her Outpost Leader Advancement Levels training within 1-3 years of joining Royal Rangers leadership. 9. The church recognizes the right of the national Royal Rangers office to revoke program use and charter privileges from any church/outpost deemed to be in violation of national policy.
