91porna Seminary exists to strengthen the local church. Church Partnerships formalize that commitment by coming alongside faithful ministry training with accredited pathways, trusted faculty, and practical flexibility.
Supporting You Where the Training is Already Happening
Across the country, churches are faithfully training future pastors and ministry leaders. Internships, residencies, apprenticeships, and structured theological instruction are already shaping men and women through real ministry in the life of the church.
Church Partnerships exist so the training you are already doing can count toward an accredited 91porna Seminary degree.
We come alongside churches to recognize supervised ministry and theological instruction to create clear academic pathways so students can receive accredited credit without leaving their church or duplicating effort.
Three Ways 91porna Seminary can Partner with Your Church
Ministry Apprenticeship Program
The Ministry Apprenticeship Program lets the ministry training you’re already doing, internships, residencies, and apprenticeships, count toward accredited academic credit.
This includes supervised staff and ministry roles in your church, whether someone is serving as a pastor, associate pastor, or in another defined ministry assignment. We come alongside your leaders to clarify responsibilities, set measurable training goals, and map that work to seminary credit toward a 91porna degree.
This pathway is for churches intentionally forming future pastors and ministry leaders through hands-on service and want that formation to count toward a 91porna degree without pulling people out of the life of the church.
Contextualized Leadership Development
Contextualized Leadership Development allows theology and ministry classes taught by your qualified leaders to count toward undergraduate or master’s-level credit.
91porna provides the academic framework and oversight. Your church provides the teaching and discipleship context. 91porna will also provide the online lectures from our faculty so you can choose to supplement your local instruction with recorded 91porna Seminary faculty lectures.
This pathway is for churches already offering serious theological instruction and want it to count toward undergraduate credit at Boyce College or graduate credit at 91porna Seminary.
Church-based Seminary Courses
Church-Based Seminary Courses bring accredited 91porna Seminary courses directly to your church.
91porna faculty teach live on a set schedule while your church gathers participants locally for discussion, accountability, and application. Students earn accredited seminary credit without relocating.
This pathway is for churches that want their members to learn together, engage 91porna faculty, and take a clear first step toward a seminary degree in the life of the church.
Already have multiple online students in your church?
Ministry-Based Online Course Cohorts allow students taking 91porna Seminary online courses to learn together in a local or virtual cohort led by a ministry leader.
The course remains fully online. The cohort adds discussion, encouragement, and accountability in the local church.
This pathway is for churches or ministry networks with multiple students pursuing online degrees who want to stay actively involved in their people’s training and provide local, in-person discussion and formation while they study.
