LifeJourney Pastoral Training

Something New, Something Refreshing
Innovative Pastoral Training for Progressive Evangelical Christians

If you have a passion for following Jesus and a call to pastoral ministry. . .

If you’re feeling constrained by the narrowness of traditional Evangelical Christianity or the lack of passion and focus in Liberal Christianity. . .

If you want to prepare to lead a church that is. . .

Christ centered,
Genuinely diverse,
Scripturally grounded,
Theologically open-minded,
Intensely missional, and
Focused on personal spiritual growth,

This program may be for you.

Our program is an intensive, hands-on two-year apprenticeship during which you will be immersed in the daily operations of LifeJourney Church, a thriving Progressive Evangelical congregation, and intensively mentored by experienced pastoral leaders. In two years, you will:

Learn a Progressive Evangelical model of ministry that can be applied and adapted to the congregations you lead; and
Gain a wealth of practical knowledge about the things they never taught you in school, like how to be a successful leader and manager of a spiritual organization.
Become eligible for ordination in the Metropolitan Community Churches.

In two years you will learn what otherwise would take you ten years to discover the hard way — by trial and error. Let us help you get a jump start on a lifetime of successful ministry!
