What Is a Ministry Practicum? A Ministry Practicum is serving in the local church as part of a student's overall learning. The purpose of the Ministry Practicum is to encourage students to develop in ministry and to gain valuable and practical experience serving in the local church.

​

Learn about Sacraments vs Ordinances – what they are, why we observe them as well as when and how to perform them. Come get dipped in the water as you practice ‘How To’ perform baptisms; learn ‘How To’ officiate a wedding and then actually complete one; learn ‘How To’ comfort someone when they have lost a loved one then practice walking through the complete funeral service; sitting in worship service is completely different than overseeing a service – learn ‘How To’ lead the worship service into being just that – pure worship; learn just how sacred Holy Communion is and ‘How To’ serve with love; and much, much more!
