Ministerial Licensing

Holding GEMA Ministerial Licensing from Guardian Ecclesiastical Medical Association (GEMA) is beneficial because it demonstrates that the professional is a member of an Association and has met certain educational and clinical requirements. Furthermore, the many resources that GEMA has available are tremendously beneficial in marketing services for profile enhancement or to acquire further education and training in the healing arts. 

Naturopathic health licensing from GEMA provides credibility in the public, being assured that he/she is sound, well trained, has ethical principles, and is knowledgeable in the use of holistic medicine.  At the time of this writing (post), only 22 states in the USA have naturopathic physician licensing laws, so if a GEMA “Practitioner” resides in a state that doesn’t have a licensing law, this is beneficial. Notwithstanding, whether there is a licensing law or not is of no consequence, because the declaration in the First Amendment of the US Constitution, declares the separation of Church and State—called the “Separation of Powers.”

So, Pastoral Licenses provide a safe and legal system for GEMA practitioners to offer their clients the ability to achieve optimal health by making positive lifestyle adjustments and following natural protocols that are scripturally/scientifically sound and professionally regulated, pursuant to acceptable ministerial standards of care.

Practitioner members of GEMA enjoy access to a full list of associate organizations and services that offer discounts and plans, alreadynegotiated to be pre-qualified for GEMA members.  To take advantage of these member-only resources, one must complete the entire 6-step online application process.
