Bi-vocational Co-vocational Certification

Becoming certified lets churches know that you have been through content and material that sets you apart from other bi-vocational and co-vocational ministry leaders. This certification gives you credibility as a ministry leader and equips you to lead your church to greater health.

With certification, you will be better equipped to:

  • Understand the changing world of bi-vocational and co-vocational ministry

  • Lead in a part-time capacity

  • Build an effective church staff

  • Make your family a priority

Who is the certification for?

  • Pastors or church ministry leaders who want to become bi-vocational or co-vocational.
  • Leaders who want to continue their work in the marketplace but have a calling to serve in ministry.

What are the benefits of serving as a bi-vocational or co-vocational pastor?

✅  You keep a foot firmly in the marketplace.

✅  You are forced to equip the laity to get ministry done.

✅  You have a broader and healthier perspective.

If you are starting in bi-vocational/co-vocational ministry or are thinking about it, this certification course is perfect for you. It prepares you for everything you need and the challenges you could potentially see. The videos and the books are filled with content but not long and overwhelming, so you can go at your own pace and pick up right where you left off. I highly recommend this course and believe that learning through Church Answers will be the place to go for future church leaders.
