These roles have different requirements depending on your calling to ministry. Here are some samples of ordained minister roles offered at Christian Leaders Institute: Officiant Minister – Small Group Minister (23 Credits) – House Church Pastor (29 Credits) – Women’s Minister (32 Credits) – Associate Chaplain (35 Credits) – Associate Minister (36 Credits) – Evangelist Minister (TBA) – Commissioned Minister (45 Credits) – Chaplain (120 Credits) – Minister of the Word (120 Credits) More ordination roles to come.
