About Our School of Ministry
The Paul H. Arrington School of Ministry is an exciting and specialized ministerial program that is featured on the New Clark Temple (NCT) campus. Students are able to learn and pursue an in-depth understanding of theology and its relevance to today’s world. At the Paul H. Arrington School of Ministry students are prepared to pursue various programs of study and individualized courses as they seek to discover and fulfill God’s calling on their life. Students that are enrolled are able to develop a balanced Christian worldview that will enrich them for their work in respective callings, vocations, ministry, volunteer work, family life and more. NCT’s School of Ministry is home to the Gertrude Smith School of Intercessory Prayer. We have provided this division for individuals that have been called to the ministry of intercession. Many of our courses on our campus are part of distinguished programs which offer strategic concentrated areas of study that will require specific course credit hours. In some instances, the fulfillment of those course credit hours, will lead students on the right track for ministerial licensing, college credits, or certificates of completion on our NCT campus. This program follows the biblical standards, mandates and ethics as structured by our Dean of the School of Ministry and our Campus Founder, Minister Jessica C. Reid.
