Having pastored across denominational lines and having an ecumenical ministry of sorts, I can say this with all honesty. If and when you go into a denomination, Avoid being put in a box by Any Denomination. Be accountable first to God and He will direct your path. Learn to be abased and learn to abound. Be comfortable and confident in your own walk with God if you have a pulpit or if you don’t, in ministry or not. You are first and foremost a minister before God. Truth will lead you beyond your Denomination’s theological stance and that’s OK. Don’t substitute your own walk with God for being a Company man. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness. Denominations can provide a lot of support but they can also take a lot, if not all, the personal experiences with God and replace it with a neatly wrapped box with a bow on it devoid of any spirituality. Polity is not the same as “Thus sayeth the Lord.” So be flexible. For the 11th commandment could have been, blessed are the flexible for they shall not be broken. Study sermons from other denominations than your own. You will become a better preacher for it.
Thank you so much for sharing this information.
Helpful. Dodged a bullet and saved lots of time by watching this informative video. Thanks!
Hello I’m Dr. Adam Everett from Scroggins Texas.
Great info . I would suggest getting a better microphone and this would be an A+ video :)
Once churches begin requiring their leaders to have a degree to serve. You know that their church is a business and lost its original intention.
It’s unfortunate because the message they unknowingly spread is, “if you don’t have a degree you can’t teach Bible, you can’t know Bible. So let me tell you what to think because I have this paper and you don’t”

Understand the cost. The debt coming out of Divinity school is not worth it. Had I know what I know now, I would not have gone to Divinity school.
nobody cares You will not earn enough money to pay it off in a decent time. You will be basically leaving with a mortgage.
It’s ironic, Divinity schools should have a Christian policy that won’t allow future leaders who are going to serve the community leave with debt.
True - most teachers make more money and have better benefits than pastors. I know people will point out the "celebrity" pastors with their million-dollar book deals and outrageous speaking fees, but those are few. Most pastors are barely able to pay for what they need today and have no means of saving for the future.
David Martin Well stated!
At least you know people doing it aren't money-driven 🙂
IV been studying over the last 15. 20 years I do have records weather I do anything or not I'd like to finish .i v had some learning disablitys as youngster that had retired my efforts but I still have what I believe skills in some stuff yet lack in others iv grown up and lived with 12 step program education been thru treatment centers exetra over the years that I believe can be helpfull I beg your pardon spelling is a weak point for some odd reason.resently iv put some scriptures out to churches I'm rather disappointed in the responses thier have been messages in them that I believe in thier entirety are extremely important given entire presentation.but know one has seems thier pushing me your way or back to prison free correspondence .present study's iv been questioned about my knowledge I must admit I was confused as to knowledge I have I did not realize iv had.i seem to do much better in person one on one to my own shame I was a school drop out young mother black sodden but yet seem to have more education than many like so I'm told iv worked with Christian councler over the years who also think thiers a place in ministry
Interested.
syalom good night mafa sir I want theology but I want to ask about tuition fees, can you explain about tuition fees?
I want to do mdiv how i can apply ?
thanks for sharing, do you have immerse program?
Yes po ano pp yun
I am in a govt. Service. Can I be a pastor at the same time.
Yes. Pastor, Minister, Reverend all mean the same thing in theology. They mean 'Servant'. Any Christian can be a servant if they are speading the good news of Christ's gift to us. But to run a church you need lots of varying studies. You need to know the ends and outs of theology and how to perform the services and sacraments as well as how to write sermons and such.

How much did the 12 Apostles pay Jesus for HIS education? NOTHING!! I’d hate to be judged by the Lord for trying to profit off of His FREE GIFT!!!

,,,,👁,,,. . . Unless you have established harmonious relation of everyday life with issues like Jesus turning water to wine , Turning the other chick, "Giving off" your second coat, and Logos, ,,,, never mind, don't even open your mouth at attempting to (preach) anyone anywhere ever.
Denominations can ALLOW you or NOT ALLOW you to do something like studying online?
That sounds like a cult
I'll make it easy for you - don't go to seminary. Evangelical churches want this mix: business and communications background and someone who is attractional and can pack the pews with their personality.
