Scriptural Foundation
Our program aligns with the mission of Ephesians 4:12-13:

Steps to Ordination
The path to ordination at SSCE consists of three stages: Minister in Training (M.I.T.), Licensed Minister, and Ordained Elder. Through our comprehensive training, you will gain a deep understanding of who you are, your calling and purpose, and the direction of your destiny. You will be equipped to function in healing and deliverance and gain a thorough understanding of Mark 16:17-18, the Holy Spirit, Apostolic Ministry, and Apostolic Succession.
Our program emphasizes the importance of order, etiquette, discernment, and being led by the Holy Spirit. You will explore foundational concepts such as the laying on of hands, Apostolic Doctrine, praise and worship, and Ephesians 4:11-12, alongside practical teachings on the 5-Fold Ministry and its application. You'll also learn the significance of being a servant, and a disciple, and the meaning behind liturgical vestments and clergy colors. As part of your preparation, you will actively lead services, deliver sermons (ready in season and out of season), and conduct praise and worship. Through this journey, you will be fully equipped to answer God's call and excel in your ordination as a leader in ministry.
