# Welcome to Credentials Portal

> A platform to assist Nazarene districts in their ministerial credentialing process — manage candidates, interviews, mentors, and boards in one place.

Credentials Portal helps districts track the full credentialing journey: from a candidate's first course enrollment through their board interviews, mentor relationship, and final recommendation.
