Worley Leadership Ministry Certificate

The certificate option offers biblical and theological foundations for life, practical training in Christian ministries from experienced church leaders, and mentored ministry apprenticeship at Compass Church.

Ministry Apprenticeships

We, Dallas Christian College and Compass Christian Church think the time for your generation is now.

Please watch the video below of Dr. Rob Maupin, one of Compass’ pastors, to hear about the Worley School of Ministry and the excitement we, DCC and Compass, share in what is to come with the Worley School of Ministry.

I don’t think there is ever a lack of people that God has called to lead…what we lack is a wise way to train, equip, and launch people into leadership. WSM is an effort to open the door wide for young leaders to get into leadership with the right tools and the right understanding of how God uses our lives.
