As a means to "equip the saints for the work of the ministry…" (Ephesians 4:12), Calvary Chapel has developed this course in practical ministry training. It is intended to prepare the hearts of God’s servants and lay a foundation for those seeking to serve Him through the local church.

These studies are comprised of entry level ministry training for those who desire to serve the Lord in this capacity here at Calvary Chapel.
