In the Body of Christ, great leaders affirm the call of leadership in others and train them for ministry. To do this, you need to create an ordination program that isn’t just true to Scripture and your church’s values but is also recognized by the government as legal. However, it can be challenging to know what qualifies as a legitimate ordination program in the eyes of the state.
At StartCHURCH, we believe every church and ministry should be equipped with the tools they need to create ordination programs that are true to their values and produce faithful shepherds while abiding by governmental standards. That’s why we created the Equipped to Ordain video course for church planters, pastors, and ministry leaders. With Equipped to Ordain, you can create legal, compliant, and proven strategies for ordaining men and women through your ministry.
- 5 lessons in 5 videos
- Workbook and answer sheet
- 11 essential, editable example assets for your use
- Unlimited access to the video course
When you purchase this video course, you will also receive several free, downloadable documents that can all be easily customized for your church’s use. These documents include:
