There are several ministers related to Elim Fellowship who provide a more "trans-local" ministry, which benefits local churches. These ministries would not be resident in one local church; their ministry finds expression throughout the larger body of Christ.

There are also those who are either pioneering a ministry or pioneering a church endeavor. These may receive donations from a constituency broader than the locality of their ministry.

In each case, the U.S. Ministries Department has created a format whereby the minister can receive donations into an account for their support and the support of their ministries. Donors are thus encouraged to direct their donations through Elim Fellowship and are then able to receive receipts for their giving that would benefit them when filing their tax returns.

Candidates for the Home Missionary designation must complete a thorough application procedure, which includes an interview with either a Regional Director or the Director or Assistant Director of the U.S. Ministries Department, before they are considered by the full USM Committee. Thus the integrity of the credential holder, the ministry they are seeking to carry out, and the relationship they have with Elim Fellowship are strengthened and guarded.
