Welcome, God-called to vocational ministry in the Church of the Nazarene!  You are on a wonderful journey with God that your District Board of Ministry wants to affirm and walk with you on. While the journey may be long and arduous, the preparation for ministry in the Church of the Nazarene will help to make you ready for missional service to the Lord and to His Church.  May His blessings be yours as you seek to follow Him with all of your heart and as you prepare your mind and spirit.

Please explore further in this site under the Ministerial Preparation menu above.  You will want to investigate "The Process from Call to Ordination" under The Process.  You will also need to read the Handbook for Christian Ministries and be sure to Register with the District Board of Ministry.  Be sure to also check out the educational options that are available.

Should you need to apply for a District License or for Ordination, you can check out the Board of Ministry page for those applications, along with the church board recommendation for a District License.
