Unlike teachers, psychologists and therapists, ministers are not required by a regulating organization or state law to pursue continuing education. Many, however, are opting to go back to school in order to sharpen their understanding of the Bible, understand people better and embrace all that technology has to offer.

As the ministry is a demanding vocation, an inflexible class schedule is impractical and will not allow a minister to effectively serve his/her congregation.

The money that you could have made today can be used to help someone in a 3rd world country start a business to feed their family, get an education to better their future, or go to a church to spread the Gospel.
