Ministers

The call of God to be a minister is a treasure in an earthern vessel (2 Corinthians 4:7). Christ gave the gifts of apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor and teacher to His church, and we celebrate your unique giftings and role.

In the Heartland, we devote much of our ministry to ministers. We want to help you reach your full potential, so we partner with you in lasting friendships, spiritual refueling, ongoing education, and understanding the challenges that only a fellow minister can understand.

Christ urged us to pray for laborers to be sent into the harvest, so we are always looking for new ministers! If you feel the call of God on your life, let us walk with you on the path to receiving your credentials. We offer three levels of credentials — Local Church Ministers License, Minister’s License, and Ordination. We want to be your ministry family!

Becoming a House of Prayer

Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’?”

Mark 11:17 (NKJV)

house of prayerNo doubt your heart longs to pray the way the early believers prayed, both individually and in groups large and small. They were men and women just like us. We can learn what they knew. As we pray with the same passion to the same God, we assuredly will see the Holy Spirit moving on the same level.

Is Your Church a House of Prayer?

As we read the Newhouse of prayer for all nations Testament, we become aware rather quickly that the early church devoted herself to prayer. Some of this prayer was done alone as individuals. Some of it was done in groups small and large.
