Ministry Training Center
About
The Ministry Training Center sits at the corner of local religious education in Queens, offering programming rooted in practical instruction and service. Programs run the gamut from ministerial formation and biblical studies to counseling and youth outreach, with each track designed for real-world application. The building itself anchors a stretch of storefront churches and community centers on Corona Avenue, where foot traffic mixes longtime residents with newer arrivals.
At 93-28 Corona Ave., Elmhurst, NY 11373, the center occupies a storefront in a busy retail corridor surrounded by bodegas and small offices. The address places it within a five-minute walk of the 7 train at 103rd Street–Corona Plaza, connecting riders to Midtown in under twenty minutes. Sidewalk space is tight after school hours, so visitors often park along side streets before evening classes begin.
Candidates enroll for intensive workshops on preaching, pastoral care, and ethics, while lay leaders audit single sessions on discipleship or church administration. Practicum placements connect trainees with neighborhood nonprofits, linking classroom time to local outreach efforts across Elmhurst and Jackson Heights. Registration can open as early as two months ahead, so late arrivals sometimes call to confirm program openings.
