Reading Requirements
New Reading Requirements
The General Board has recently made a significant change to the reading requirements for ministerial applicants who have
not completed at least one year of Bible College. The United Pentecostal Church (including the Colorado District) will
now only accept the new requirements.
These new requirements include excellent materials (training videos and ebooks) provided via
MinistryCentral.com.
All applicants (whether they have had one year of Bible College or not) are required to read the Bible through each
time they meet the District Board for licensing or license upgrade. They must also read the UPCI Manual.
It is highly recommended that ministerial applicants pay special attention to Article VII in the UPCI Manual when reading it.
You must use the new, updated:
