Question

Do I have to go to a special collage to become a Christian pastor?

Answer 1

Yes, most churches have universities they send future pastors too. You also can NOT get financial aid for this program - so take that into consideration.

Answer 2

There are colleges that offer undergraduate degrees in ministry and there are seminaries for graduate work.  Financial aid is available at most undergraduate institutions in the form of scholarships from the school, grants from endowments through the schools, work study programs, and student loans.  Additionally, some churches will offer tution assistance, and many colleges have a fund to match all or part of that.
