The purpose of the Ministerial Formation Certification Agency is to strengthen the ministry of Word and sacrament in the RCA by overseeing and awarding the Certificate of Readiness for Examination to RCA candidates graduating from non-RCA seminaries or pursuing an approved alternate route. The agency works closely with congregations, classes, and seminaries in implementing the General Synod’s standards for the preparation for ministry. The agency works with New Brunswick Theological Seminary and Western Theological Seminary to provide courses and programs for the purpose of equipping future ministers of Word and sacrament.
