Ministry Practicum
In addition to coursework, the experiential learning component is an integral part of our program of study at Zion Temple Center For Biblical Studies (ZTCBS). This component is fulfilled through a ministry practicum.
What Is a Ministry Practicum?
A ministry practicum is serving in the local church as part of a student’s overall learning. The purpose of the ministry practicum is to encourage students to develop in ministry and to gain valuable and practical experience serving in the local church.
2 TIMOTHY 3:17
“That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.”
