Seminary is not mandated for ministry. It is however a great resource for those who serve and work in ministry. Churches may have denominational expectations for which type of seminary would qualify them for serving within that denomination. Be sure to do research on what is possible for you. Also, explore various programs to find the school that works best for your dynamic and ministry goals. Lastly, think about which type of degree you will be pursuing. There are certificate programs, undergraduate degrees, graduate degrees, and various courses you can take.
