Jerusalem Project Institute
The Jerusalem Project Institute offers a two-year program where participants dive deeper into the bible.
The first-year curriculum, Foundations, integrates both content and core competencies to develop a foundation of biblical understanding and the necessary skills to serve in a local congregation.
During the second-year class, Formation, participants delve deeper into our relationship with God, the church, and others as we live out our faith.
Ordination & Commissioning
The one-year ordination and commissioning cohort provides men and women with guided preparation for future church leadership.
At Calvary, ordination is the process where the elders recognize and affirm that the Spirit has called a man to life-long pastoral ministry. Commissioning is the process where the elders set apart men and women for ministry, affirming the Spirit’s call on their lives.
