The objective of the practical ministry program is to develop the ability in students for pastoral care and imparting community based orientation to students. The aim of this program is to orient the students for practical ministry and church administration.

According to the practical ministerial training where the students are assigned to different churches in every semester in the various ministries of the church as per the need of the congregation. The students reach the churches on every Sunday in teams and engage in leading Sunday school, youth fellowships, praise & worship, assisting the pastors in liturgy, and also in administration of the communion.

This enables the students to identify their skills and talents to enhance them for their future endeavours. We are pleased to state that the pastors and the church officials welcome the students and provide opportunities for preaching, singing, worshipping God, and conducting Bible study.
