Christian Practical Experience

May be a combination of services that the Church provides in local ministry . Practical experience may also include the experiences one is doing in their present ministry work; such as, leading small groups or individual ministry work they are doing on their own. The Seminary supervisor must approve all practicum’s before one begins. Once the minister completes the number of supervised hours required, supervision is no longer necessary under that credential category. .

Be advised. Once the application is received and reviewed by the Association and is approved, the candidate will receive an approval letter along with their Ministerial Certificate and Pocket Credentials (Minister's Name on back) - which will allow them to present it at any given time or party. This is especially useful to those who minister in hospitals or prisons.
