Advance Center for Ministry Training will award certificates for a variety of levels of accomplishment and excellence. In life preachers must have innate (God-given) traits of personality and leadership, usually recognized by others. However, plumbers, electricians and other trades usually require certification for varying degrees of proficiency. Even welders must be certified. Why not preachers and other ministers? We offer a Certificate of Endorsement in the following three ministry areas: (1) Preaching Ministry; (2) Associate Ministry; and (3) Practical Ministry. We also offer the Certificate of Completion designed for church members.
Certificate of Endorsement: Preaching Ministry
The path for Preaching Ministry is for men who are called to preach the word of God every week. This certificate offers courses in Bible, practical ministry, leadership development, church and culture, and a heavy focus on preaching.
Certificate of Endorsement: Associate Ministry
The Associate Ministry path is for men in ministry who are not solely preaching. This could include an associate minister, a worship minister, discipleship minister, or a youth / children's minister. Our Associate Minister certificate offers courses in Bible, practical ministry, preaching and teaching, leadership development, and church and culture.
Certificate of Endorsement: Practical Ministry
The Practical Ministry path is for women and men in ministry who are not preaching. This could include youth and family ministry, children's ministry, or various administrative positions within the church. Our Practical Ministry certificate offers courses in teaching, Bible, practical ministry, leadership development, and church and culture.
