Important distinction

Information is not affiliation.

Reading or submitting these materials does not by itself create fellowship, spiritual covering, partnership, credentialing, ordination, Kingdom Reign Church designation, academic enrollment, or event confirmation. Those relationships require appropriate conversation, discernment, documentation, and approval.
