Our School of Ministry offers two unique tracks designed to equip and empower individuals for their role in ministry. Equip Cornerstone - The Ministry Team Track is perfect for those seeking focused leadership training in various areas of ministry. Open to everyone, this track provides invaluable tools and insights for effective service, whether you're a seasoned leader, volunteer within your church, or just starting your ministry. Credentialed ministers can also take advantage of these classes to earn MCEP credits, enhancing their ongoing ministerial education. Each course takes place in person at the Cornerstone Ministry Center and has a fee of $35. In order to register, please go to registration and select the Ministry Team Track. Please note that this track does not lead to credentialing but focuses solely on developing your ministry and leadership skills.

​

The Credentialing Track is specifically tailored for those pursuing official credentials within the IPHC. Whether you are seeking a Local Church Minister’s License, a Minister’s License, or Ordination, this track provides the necessary coursework and guidance to fulfill your calling and meet credentialing requirements. This track is part of the IPHC Clergy Development and the Ministerial Credentialing Program. Each credential—Local Church Minister's License, Minister's License, and Ordination—requires the completion of ten courses. Semesters are January 1st - July 14th and July 15th - December 31st.
