Training Men to Know, Defend, and Teach the Truths of the Christian Faith
What is the School of Ministry?
The CTK School of Ministry is a three-year certificate program designed to give men serious theological training without requiring them to leave their families, jobs, or local church. Built on the 1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, the program covers the full range of biblical and theological education — from the story of Scripture to systematic theology to the practical work of ministry.
This is not a casual Bible study. It is a structured, graded program with real reading loads, real assignments, and real accountability. Classes meet Wednesday evenings at the church, with summer intensives on Saturdays. A man who finishes this program will be equipped to teach the Bible, defend the faith, and serve the church with theological depth and practical skill.
The School of Ministry awards a Certificate in Biblical and Ministry Studies upon completion of 42 credit hours.
Who is it For?
The School of Ministry is open to men who are members of Christ the King Church. Whether you're a new believer who wants to build a strong foundation or a seasoned Christian who wants to go deeper, this program meets you where you are and pushes you further than you thought you could go.
The first cohort begins August 19, 2026.
