Ministry involves more than preaching and pastoral care. Pastors also lead teams, manage church finances, work with boards and make decisions that shape the life of the local church.

This course will help you develop practical skills for that part of ministry.

Classes begin November 5 with Rev. Tamara Hudson.

Is God calling your to ministry?

God's call doesn't always come at a convenient time in our lives.

Many who sense God leading them into ministry are already balancing careers, raising families, serving faithfully in their local churches, or transferring into the Church of the Nazarene from another denomination. They need a way to prepare for ministry without putting life on hold.

That's why the District Ministry Training Centre (DMTC) exists.

As a ministry of the Canada Central District, the DMTC provides affordable, accessible, and high-quality ministry education. Our courses equip men and women on our district for pastoral ministry that meets the educational requirements for ordination in the Church of the Nazarene.

Our students aren't all the same. Some are experienced lay leaders taking the next step. Others are parents, working professionals, or those responding to God's call later in life. What they share is a desire to faithfully serve Christ and His Church.

Our new academic year begins this September with The Moral Shape of Christian Ministry, followed by Church Administration and Finance in November.

If you've been sensing God calling you into ministry, we'd love to help you take your next step.

Canada's national motto, A Mari Usque Ad Mare ("From sea to sea"), comes from Psalm 72:8.

As we celebrate Canada Day, we thank God for this nation and pray that from sea to sea, churches would be strengthened, pastors and ministry leaders would be equipped, and more Canadians would come to know the hope found in Jesus Christ.

Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦
