Practical Ministry Certificates

The following courses are specifically designed programs of study that provide targeted training for local church leadership:

• Leading the Church—Elder and Governing Board Training Course This course is designed to assist new and current leaders in an Alliance church setting to become grounded in local church leadership. Students will learn about biblical and pastoral leadership, Alliance church governance, and the theological foundations of the local church. They will also be introduced to the key beliefs and positions of The Christian and Missionary Alliance and learn how the local church relates to the broader denominational family.

• Protect the Church—Serving Safe with Minors Training Course This course trains those who plan to work with children ages 18 and under to engage with minors safely. This training includes certification through Plan to Protect (0–18 and Vulnerable Populations Orientation), which may help satisfy local insurance requirements for your local church.

These programs are self-directed and may be started at any point: PMC Registration Link.
