Ministerial Practicalities
Ministerial Practicalities will provide practical training about the local church, administration, legalities, ceremonies, sacraments, executive ethics, and wisdom to perform with excellence in the ministry. Every church worker and minister of the gospel needs this course. Many graduates have said they learned many things in this course that they never learned in other Bible schools. We are to be the best we can be and serve Christ with a spirit of excellence. Ministerial Practicalities will give you the tools. You will be fully equipped to do weddings, funerals, baptisms, visitations, and every ministerial assignment.
