If you believe that God is calling you into the ministry - and assuming that you are a member of the Seventh-day Adventist church - then you should talk to your pastor and see if he will let you try out your ministry by, say, preaching from time to time or studying The Bible with people. If, after doing that, you still feel that you are being called, the next step is to attend an Adventist college and do the theology course. This involves four years of study to reach the BA degree followed by another year or 18 months for an MA (not all countries require the MA).

Once you have satisfactorily complete the theology course you can apply to the church organisation for a job as a minister and after interview you will usually be assigned to work with an older pastor for a couple of years. This is known as an internship. During that time you will function as a pastor but you will not be allowed to baptise, marry or discipline church members.

Finally if you have shown promise as an intern the church organisation will decide to ordain you, usually at a large gathering such as a conference or camp meeting, after which you will be a minister with all the rights and duties that implies.
