STEP FOUR
Applicant is required to complete payment.
Upon submission, the applicant will receive another email with a link to complete payment. All applicants pay a $25 fee. New or reinstated applicants also pre-pay one-quarter of annual dues. This can be paid by credit card.

The pastor or sponsor will review application.
After pastor or sponsor approval, the application will go to the North Texas District for review and approval, and subsequently to UPCI World Headquarters for review and approval.
