South west ministry training course

Ministry Training
Entrance to the courses run by SWMTC is restricted to those who have been selected for training by their sponsoring churches.

Therefore application must, in the first instance, be made through those churches. Each of the churches has its own rigorous selection procedure, usually with a lengthy process of interviews and meetings, followed by formal selection conferences. Your own home minister should be the first contact. The following could be contacted for all those considering training for ordination or Reader ministry
