If you are actively involved in a ministry in your local
church on a regular basis, then you are eligible to receive 1 credit per quarter
(6 credits per year which includes the summer semester of 2 quarters
for 2 credits) for practical
Christian ministry experience. "Actively involved" is
defined as being involved at least 1 hour per week in some type of
Church
ministry. This would include maintenance and other types of
support ministries.
-
If you are not currently a member of a local Church then you are ineligible to take this course because it requires participation in a regular ministry in a local Church.
In that case you are not required to take this course.
-
If you are NOT the pastor of the church where you are a
member, then you will need to have your pastor confirm your
participation in a local church ministry. For
the Pastor's Ministry Confirmation form, please click HERE.
He will need to submit the Ministry Confirmation form once each year.
-
If you ARE the pastor of a church, then confirmation is
NOT needed for you for as long as you are the pastor.
Simply turn in your Quarterly Report Forms.
