Younger People Receiving Ministerial Credentials in Kentucky
The Church of God has a program within the Division of Education called Calling and Ministry Studies (CAMS). In the state of Kentucky, the Church of God has made a concerted effort to train younger ministerial candidates. Last year, in Kentucky, the average age of the applicant was 39. This year, the average age is 29. At the recent testing date for the Exhorter exam, three teenagers passed the Exhorter exam, becoming credentialed ministers in the Church of God.
