National Association of Christian Ministers, NACM, christian ordination ordained minister

We are committed to the development and success of our ministers. For this reason, we offer a mentor program to all of our membership –without cost.  Participants are given the opportunity to undergo ministerial mentoring through the supervision of our organization’s president and others who have completed the program.  During this time they are exposed to a verity of subjects in Christian doctrine, philosophy, Biblical interpretation techniques, and ministry strategies.  Then they are given assignments to respond in one paragraph summaries on a discussion board regarding the course materials. Herein they also have the opportunity to interact with everyone participating in the program, as well as graduated mentors.  When they reach the end of the program, each participant is given a final assignment that is tailored to their individual ministry goals. The main delivery format of the program is online.  Participants in the US will also have the opportunity to interact in several phone conferences at the final assignment stage.

Upon completion, participants may request a letter of reference on behalf of the NACM, as well as a certificate of mentorship.  Also, they may request assignments to assist in mentoring future participants.  People who serve in this role will stay in touch with their assigned partners to discuss the course materials, ministry goals, to provide fellowship and moral support. Those who wish to serve our ministry may also request an internship so that they my gain valuable experiential ministry experience.
