Training courses for volunteer pastors and pastoral staff were carried out in Liaoning and Yunnan provinces respectively.
Between July 18 to 22, Anshan Municipal CC&TSPM in Liaoning Province held a one-week training course for volunteer pastors, reported CCC&TSPM.
Most volunteer pastors who participated in this training are relatively old rural believers with low-level education attainment, lacking theoretical knowledge of Christianity. However, in the 1980s and 1990s, when there was a serious shortage of pastors developed in seminary schools, these people took up the mission of preaching. Now, they feel under-equipped and eager to recharge themselves.
This program offered nearly 10 courses, including policies and regulations, how to achieve the sinicization of Christianity, how to practice the core socialist values, how to be a pastor of righteous faith and righteous deeds, the history of church revival in Northeast China, and knowledge of the Bible. The teachers fully analyzed the existing problems in rural churches, especially how to identify and avoid heretical cults. Elder Shi Aijun, chairman of Liaoning Provincial TSPM and president of Northeast Theological Seminary, issued certificates of completion to participants.
The Christian Council of the Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture recently hosted a two-day pastoral training course at Manyun Church. More than 50 key pastoral staff from across the autonomous prefecture participated in the training, CCC&TSPM said.
The leaders of the united front work department of the prefectural Party committee were invited to explain the Administrative Measures on the Management of Religious Clergy in detail. Rev. Yan Wen gave a lecture on "Systematic Theology: Quality of a Pastor", and Rev. Yu Di, the vice president of the prefectural Christian Council, talked about "Systematic Theology: Peace and Harmony".
The day before the opening of the training course, renewing the new certificates for “pastors” and “elders” by the provincial christian council had just been completed. Therefore, during the training, two pastors and 24 elders were awarded the new certificates.

辽宁省和云南省分别开展对义工传道人和教牧人员的培训班。据基督教两会报道
2022年7月18日至22日，辽宁省鞍山市基督教两会为义工传道员开办了为期一周的培训班。
参加此次培训的义工传道员大多来自农村，年龄偏大，文化偏低，理论知识相对不足。但在上世纪八、九十年代神学院校培养的传道人严重不足的历史背景下，这些人承担负起传道重任。现在，他们觉得装备不够、渴望再造。
本次培训开设近10门课程，包括政策法规、基督教如何实现中国化、如何践行社会主义核心价值观、做正信正行的传道人、东北教会复兴的历史以及圣经知识等。针对于农村教会存在的问题，特别是如何识别和防范异端邪教，授课老师进行了剖析。辽宁省基督教三自爱国运动委员会主席、东北神学院院长史爱军长老为学员颁发了结业证。
西双版纳州基督教协会近期在曼允基督教堂举办为期两天的教牧人员培训班，全州50余名骨干教职人员参加培训。
培训班邀请州委统战部领导讲解《宗教教职人员管理办法》，岩温牧师给大家讲授“系统神学——传道员素质”，西双版纳州基督教协会副会长玉的牧师讲授“系统神学——和睦与和谐”。
培训班举办前夕，适逢云南省基督教两会关于全省“牧师”和“长老”新证换发工作开展完毕，在此次培训班上，州基督教协会为2位牧师和24位长老颁发新证。
