The purpose of the hierarchy isn't to obtain privilege and prestige, rather to help you make your spiritual journey and create a sense of belonging within the Church.  In fact, the Elder's would be happy to promote everyone to the highest rank but for the fact that something not earnt is rarely treasurered. Hence, each rank has value and meaning associated with it and to rise through the hierarchy, you must have patience and be devoted to the church.

A higher rank must be both earned and obtained. One can only earn membership by taking the oath.
One can only earn ranks higher then 'Graduate' by taking the test, which can only be taken after at least a month of service to the Church.
One can only obtain an Elder rank by popular vote amongst the Elders, most times only in case of a vacant position (or a near vacant position).

Most ranks can be obtained by paying a joining fee. However, each higher rank will cost you more each month. (Be warned! One can only leave the church when not in debt!). If you desire a rank in which you don't have to donate monthly, please state so, so an Elder can adjust your rank accordingly.
