African Religion Organization Services

Enjoy the Benefits of NARC Membership

At the National African Religion Congress, we are dedicated to preserving African traditions and supporting those who practice them. We have created our membership to bring members together from around the world while creating a community poised to take action when needed.

Are you interested in membership? Keep reading to learn more. Call now if you're interested in becoming a member or getting certified as a priest or priestess.

Standard Membership

Support African tradition and culture by becoming a member of the National African Religion Congress. Choose the membership tier that meets your needs.​

• Certified priests and priestesses: $150.00
• Associate members: $150.00
• Patron members: $50.00

Patron members are non-initiates looking to be educated and up to date with African traditions. 

In order to keep the cost of certification to a minimum, we ask each house to support the congress by encouraging members of their spiritual family to certify as a priest, priestess, drummer, spiritual worker, or associate member. Each house should join NARC and send representatives to the annual conference and Ceremony of Ceremonies. If you give NARC support, then money will be available to fight your battles for you in the courts, the communities, and abroad.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We thank you for your continual loyalty.

International Membership

As an international member, you will get recognition in our national and international directory. A listing in the directory ensures people can find you when they look for a creditable priest or priestess to conduct religious teachings and initiations.

You will have the opportunity to insert your conference papers into the directories of the conference section. You can also get invitation letters to NARC conferences and the Ceremony of Ceremonies. We know it's hard for foreigners to obtain a visa for fellowship ceremonies in the United States.

Although we cannot guarantee visas for ceremonies, we can establish a better way to prove to the United States that our sisters and brothers in other countries are verified priests and priestesses obligated to their religion and religious sanctuaries within their country.

Additional Membership Services

Our membership support extends beyond the services listed above. Members can also enjoy:

• Letters of explanation or requests for an excused absence from work for initiations, religious holidays, and traditional religious attire. Our ordained priests and priestesses stem from Haitian Voodoo, Ifa, Yoruba, Akan, Candomblé, Santeria, Lucumi, and Orisa traditions of Trinidad.
• Access to information concerning the marriage laws in your state and the ability to provide necessary documents for proof of ordination so that you can apply for a clergy license to solemnize marriages and obtain clergy parking permits. This applies to some state requirements.
• Letters of creditability as proof of your priesthood for mortgage companies and lending institutions.
• A license for legal travel to Cuba directly from the United States for religious purposes such as initiations, ordinations, and religious study.
• Referrals from people seeking help in your area.
• Letters of creditability as proof of your priesthood to local government agencies, such as police departments, fire departments, license and inspection offices, and government offices.
