Prepare for official recognition and authorization to serve in ministry roles with biblical authority.
Our Ordinary and Ministry Licensing program provides the theological education and practical training required for official ministry credentials. This program prepares students for various levels of ministerial authorization, from local church licensing to denominational ordination.
The curriculum covers essential topics including biblical qualifications for ministry, ecclesiastical authority, sacramental responsibilities, ethical guidelines, and the legal aspects of ministerial practice. Students will engage with both the spiritual and practical dimensions of licensed ministry.
Through this program, students will be equipped to pursue official recognition for their ministry callings, whether for local church leadership, chaplaincy, or broader denominational service.

Written and oral examinations covering doctrine, ethics, and practical ministry.
Review by licensing board and recommendation for appropriate level of authorization.
