As exciting as a district ministry school is for those seeking credentials, that is really just the beginning of the benefits a training center like this can bring.  While there are three central tracks for ministers wanting to be certified, licensed, or ordained, additional tracks are available for anyone interested in greater Bible knowledge, those involved in children's ministry, and lay people ministering in the local church and community.

What a great tool for ministers who have been wanting to make the time to revisit Acts, Psalms, or end-time prophecies, or for church members who want to take their understanding of God's Word to a much deeper level!

Courses on Leadership Skills, Cultural Context, and Pentecostal Doctrine would be a tremendous plus for church board members, staff members, and other church leaders, regardless of their credentials.  The bi-vocational ministry candidate who currently studies for a secular degree at an Ohio college can simultaneously prepare for ministry at a reasonable pace.

Thankfully, the potential for additional benefit will involve a largely "untapped" resource of talented, gifted leaders and ministers.  These individuals span Ohio's diverse landscape, including urban, rural, ethnic, and immigrant settings, and they will find significant advantages to the network ministry school.  In addition to the low cost and close proximity, live interaction with caring instructors allows time and opportunity to ask questions and gain clear, culturally-relevant answers that make sense.
