Frequently Asked Questions

A certificate of appointment is a formal document that officially recognises a person's appointment to a specific role, position, or office — such as a pastor, bishop, deacon, commissioner, board member, or organisational officer. It serves as both a keepsake and an official record of the appointment.

Include the appointee's full name, the title or position they are being appointed to (e.g. "Appointed as Deacon"), the name of the appointing organisation or church, the effective date of the appointment, and an authorised signature. A seal or logo adds formality.
