So , depending on the church, they may not require their preachers to have any training or experience, so long as they have the gift of the gab and charisma to attract new members into the mindless sheep they fleece regularly and call their congregation.
That was my story, at age 19, I had some knowledge of Christian theology from being schooled in theology at a Christian boarding school which was Protestant theology, but the church I joined was Pentecostal, they had me on the street preaching before I had even understood Pentecostalism properly, practically as soon as I was water baptized and spoke in tongues they started grooming me to preach on the street for them.
No schooling is necessary, as it depends on the church and the head pastor or clergy.
Students I knew would laugh and called me the baby faced preacher, because I couldn’t grow a hair on my face at the time, it was at 23 I had my first shave.
That is the sex racket many churches play, suck in women to get more men involved.
Because the pastors were elderly lacked charisma and looks to attract women into the church and if they can attract women, men will follow them in.

Some get to preaching before they have even bothered to understand what they are doing.
But that is not the topic.
If a church is having trouble gaining members and a new member is keen to learn and has charisma or is good looking, often they will have them on the street preaching to attract new members before they have gained any qualification in divinity or theology.

Though a lot of churches are importing preachers from less educated countries like Asia and Africa, because it is hard getting qualified western preachers.
The doubts, contradictions in scripture and silliness started in Genesis and snowballed exponentially from then onward.
Qualified preachers in western countries are becoming rare, as according to the renowned New Testament scholar, Bart D. Ehrman, many of those graduating from seminaries are leaving as atheists.
The “Children of God” of which some of them were my friends at the time and stayed with me occasionally got in trouble going too far with using sex to attract new members in the1970s.
In the time I was preaching on the street, the female membership doubled and I was getting pats on the back from the head pastor for it, but this only made me suspicious of them and their motives.
It was that cover to cover reading that made me realize Pentecostalism is BS.
Instead of just listening to the readings of the Pastor who was training me in Pentecostal theology, I decided to read the Bible from cover to cover, which he warned me against, also making me suspicious of him.
I’ve visited many churches where the head preacher is Indian, Asian or African.
In fact it made me realize the entire Bible is BS.
