The Military Pentecostal Resource Leader (MPRL) course is designed to prepare individuals to be able to serve and assist in ministry along side a chaplain, or a Ministry to the Military Center Director. For those that are seeking to become credentialed in the Church of God, the MPRL certification is a requirement before being able to proceed to the first rank of licensure as an Exhorter. If you are married and seeking to be credentialed, it is a requirement that your spouse also go through the MPRL course.

The MPRL course uses four basic elements that Jesus used in training his disciples. We are using this model in our training of the Pentecostal Resource Leader.

Formal Training: The student reads, studies, attends online lectures/workshops and completes assignments to familiarize him/her with the core curriculum.
Informal Training: The student is assigned a mentor. He/she works with a more mature and experienced leader, minister or chaplain while continuing their studies.
On the Job Training: The student is given “hands-on” ministry assignments while still under the supervision and tutelage of a mentoring pastor/leader/chaplain.
Commissioned and sent forth: But remaining under the watch care and support of a coach.

Below are the course requirements:
