If you’re reading this, you may be wondering if ministry could be God’s will for your life. However, let’s make one thing clear: the goal of this course is not to recruit you for ministry. Instead, it’s designed to provide a safe and supportive environment for those who feel God might be calling them, offering resources to help explore the possibilities of God’s will.
Through this course, you’ll find answers to common questions about ministry, helpful insights, and guiding discussion points to engage with a mentor or local pastor. Each short, informative episode is structured to help you explore and discern God’s plan for your future. Whether you work through it independently or with a mentor, this journey is about discovering if God is calling you to serve and preparing you to take that next step, whatever it may be.

1. Complete Each Module Independently
This course is structured into concise, focused modules designed for busy learners. You can progress independently through each section, but to get the most out of it, consider pairing your learning with a mentor or peer.
2. Find a Mentor or Study Partner
Connecting with a mentor, such as an experienced professional or a knowledgeable peer, can enhance your learning experience. They can help clarify concepts, discuss module activities, and review project feedback. Share access to the course content with them if possible, and ask if they’d be open to regular discussions about your progress and questions.
3. Plan Your Meetings
Coordinate with your mentor to decide on a time and format for your check-ins. These could be 30-minute weekly meetings or an hour every other week, depending on your schedules. Meetings can be in person, but online sessions through virtual conferencing tools work just as well.
4. Review the lessons one at a time
Each module is crafted to take around 1–2 hours to complete. Aim to go through the material at a reasonable pace, maybe 1 lesson per day or every few days. This slower process allows you time to discern what the Holy Spirit is speaking to you.
At the Rocky Mountain Ministry Network, we have a passion to nurture the call of God in people’s lives. That is why we want to make myself or a member of my Network team available to you during the time you are meeting with your mentor. If you have any questions, need help, or even want to give us feedback, you can reach me at https://www.rmdc.org/network-introduction/
This course is for anyone who is feeling like they MIGHT be called into pastoral ministry. Whether you are still in high school, or considering a mid-career transition, this course is designed to be resource to help you EXPLORE the call!
