The Melchizedek Priesthood Institute
Transformation through the renewing of the mind. The Institute is how Kingdom Global Fellowship forms its priesthood — continuous ministerial, theological, pastoral, and leadership development, walked as a governed pathway from certificate to ordination.
Formation for priesthood and leadership
The Institute brings together the fellowship's teaching, training and formation. Its standards are kept by the Education and Training Council, which oversees theological education and leadership development within the Melchizedek Priesthood.
The Council works alongside the Melchizedek Theological Training Center (MTTC), KGF’s principal theological training partner, which provides structured education for priesthood formation, ministerial certification, ordination preparation, and continuing development.
Training in KGF is not casual learning. Each stage opens only when the one before it is finished, and what is completed can be checked publicly.

Every training certificate carries a number and a QR code, so anybody can confirm it is genuine. A training certificate records completion of a course. It is not by itself a credential, an ordination, or an appointment to any office.
