License Schools

The Studies for License as a Local Pastor are offered by annual conference Boards of Ordained Ministry.

The guidelines suggest a minimum total of eighty hours of study in four practical areas: Worship and Preaching, Church Administration, Christian Education, and Pastoral Care.

Students who have completed one quarter of the work required for the M.Div. degree may be approved for license as a local pastor without completing the licensing studies provided through the annual conference.
