-
develop their ministry skills for use in their local church/corps/community
-
prepare for full-time leadership within The Salvation Army or their local church
-
begin biblical and ministry studies at tertiary level and see where it leads them
-
use a time of study as a way of testing their call to serve as a Salvation Army officer or in other full-time service
-
prepare for full-time ministry employment within The Salvation Army or their local church or other agency
Study can be either on a full-time or part-time basis.
