Dove Ministries International calls Class II ministers "licensed" ministers. The purpose of a Class II license is to demonstrate the ability of an individual to work as a clergyman or an ordained minister without the "professional" appellation. A Class II minister functions on a part-time basis, and derives his income outside of the ministry.

To become licensed, a Class II minister must be called to one of the five-fold offices of The Church: Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor, or Teacher. The call of God on such a minister's life is recognized by Dove Ministries International and he works in association with an ordained minister or has fulfilled one year of independent active ministry.
