Beyond the Classroom

Practicum is an integral part of the Associate in Ministry Diploma program, and as such you’ll complete 5 ‐ 6 hours of practicum per week in a church or organization. You’ll be paired with a mentor and gain hands‐on experience in ministry. Opportunities to reflect on your work in the field will help you to apply and deepen your classroom learning and challenge you to improve your ministry practice. Please note, you will need to produce the results of a Criminal Record Check before you will be permitted to participate in practicum or internship experiences associated with the program.
