Learn Church Administration Skills
Quickly and Efficiently
Let’s be honest. No one goes into ministry because they have a passion for business! People go into ministry because they love God and want to share that love with others.
There are many great schools that teach Biblical principles, theology, and divinity – but don’t necessarily prepare students for church administration!
