Become a Pastor!

The TEEM program helps committed lay people become ordained pastors; those who are already functioning as leaders in their spiritual communities; those who are already leading God's people; those who have jobs and families and cannot leave their communities; those who for one reason or another cannot commit to pursuing an M.Div. degree. Yet they are called by God to become pastors! TEEM can help.
