A missionary commissioning certificate — sometimes called a certificate of sending — is a formal document issued by a church to record the formal commissioning and sending of a missionary for cross-cultural or domestic mission work. It is typically presented at a commissioning service before the missionary departs for their field. The certificate includes the missionary's name, the sending church, the mission field or organisation, the date of commissioning, and the authorising signatures of church leadership.
All fields are fully editable in our online editor — change any wording, add your church name and seal, upload scanned signatures, and download a print-ready 300 DPI PDF, PNG, and JPG with no design software needed. Try editing free now — no sign-up required →
