The Heart of Mary Banks Global Training
Don't Just Take Courses.Walk a Growth Path.
A Growth Path is a guided formation journey toward your gift and calling — a structured course of study, mentorship, character formation, and hands-on ministry that takes you from where you are to trained proficiency in your office. It replaces guesswork and ad-hoc enrollment with a clear, mentored road.
20 Growth Paths — search a calling, gift, or topic to see its details.

Find Your Growth Path
20 paths, one framework: the five-fold offices, the ministry and support gifts, and deep topic studies. Search or browse below, click a path to see what it develops — then choose it and begin today. The evaluation confirms where the evidence points.
Five-Fold Offices
The governing and equipping gifts of Ephesians 4 — apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, teacher.
Ministry & Support Gifts
The callings that make the Body function — oversight, service, prayer, administration, music, and counsel.
Topic Studies
Deep grounding in one body of truth. Topic paths certify completion of a course of study — not an office.
Not sure which one fits? You don't have to choose alone — the spiritual evaluation exists for exactly that: finish it and get an immediate, personalized path recommendation. Start the evaluation and begin your courses today.
Why a Growth Path Instead of Ad-Hoc Courses?
Taking courses one at a time can inform you — but it rarely forms you. A calling requires more than information.
A Destination, Not a Catalog
Every path is built backward from a real ministry office. Each course, checkpoint, and assignment exists because the office requires it — nothing is filler, and nothing essential is left out.
A Mentor, Not Just a Screen
You start immediately — and you don't walk alone. Mentors check your comprehension and character at key points, review the evidence of your practical ministry, and give the final readiness review. Formation is relational to the end.
Proof, Not Just Attendance
Paths require demonstration — teaching sessions, supervised ministry assignments, written reflections, and real service in the Body. Certification means knowledge, expression, and manifestation all line up.
How It Works
Five steps from “where do I fit?” to certified training proficiency.
- 1
Spiritual Evaluation
You complete a short guided questionnaire — about 5 minutes — covering your salvation testimony, doctrinal foundation, character, ministry experience, and the callings you sense. It is confidential.
- 2
Instant Recommendation
The moment you finish, your answers are weighed against every Growth Path — its purpose, its course of study, and the evidence in your own words — and the path that best matches you is recommended, with an honest explanation of why.
- 3
Choose Your Path & Begin Immediately
You choose your path — the recommended one or any other — and your courses open right away. Prior valid course work is credited, not repeated, and you can change paths at any time without losing progress.
- 4
Guided Formation
You move through courses, mentor checkpoints, teaching demonstrations, and supervised ministry assignments — with a mentor reviewing your evidence and walking with you the whole way.
- 5
Certification
When knowledge, expression, and manifestation all line up, a final human review certifies your training proficiency. GTC certifies training in your calling — ordination remains with your church covering.
Every Path Starts on the Same Foundation
Whatever your calling, every Growth Path begins with the Universal Core — 14 courses in four series that give the whole Body one doctrinal language and one spiritual foundation. If you've already completed core courses, that credit is recognized, not repeated.

What Certification Means
Completing a Growth Path earns a GTC certification of training proficiency in your calling — an integrated human review confirming that your knowledge, expression, and manifestation line up. GTC certifies training; it does not ordain. Ordination and placement remain with your church covering, and your path is designed to serve that covering, not replace it.
Your Calling Deserves a Path
