To become a pastor in the Presbyterian Church (USA), you come under the care and supervision of a church as well as the local Presbytery. You must have a Master of Divinity degree from a theological seminary, pass ordination exams, and receive other training through church internships and hospital chaplaincies. Before, beyond, and in the middle of all that, of course, you have to sense God's calling to serve and love the church. If you're interested in beginning the process by becoming an inquirer (the year-long first step in the process), contact one of our pastors or elders.
