Inspiring Leadership Programme

Christians in Ministry Stream

Who should apply for this stream?

A young person giving serious thought to where God might be leading them on matters of church ministry. Be it a youth leader, evangelist, community church worker, pastor, worship leader ……

Who will support you during the programme?

This will largely depend on where the person is situated, but should they be staying at the UTC then they will have two mentors. One from within the student body – a senior student whom they will meet with regularly and another from the staff.  They will also be supported by a staff member from within the Jamaican Baptist Union Centre.

What will my placement look like?

A programme of work will be developed by the pastor and the young person. The programme will be sensitive to the needs, and strengths of the person seeking to provide many ministerial opportunities for growth. Leading worship, small groups, working with young people, preaching, general ministerial formation will be integral in the programme of work.

Should the person be located at UTC, there will be ample opportunity for the young person to engage in the college modules and the UTC ministerial programme, develop friendships with the student body and academic staff.
