First, let me say that I appreciate your interest in being a minister. I served in ministry for nearly 20 years, so I know that it is a challenging job, but one in which you have the opportunity to help countless people.

I would say the first step in becoming minister is becoming involved in your church or other religious organization. Volunteering can help you to discover what you feel called to do. Once you feel you have found a focus, explore what it would take to advance in that area. Some denominations require a seminary degree and some don't. Seek guidance from the leadership at the organization where you are serving.
