We use the term “Ordination Coursework” (or sometimes “Curriculum”) to refer to the sequence of Lessons followed by a final exam that a Candidate must successfully complete as the first step towards becoming an ordained Minister of Satan.

We use the term “Ordination Program” to refer to the entire process that a Candidate must go through in order to become an ordained Minister of Satan, including: completing the Curriculum, writing the Ministerial Self-Development essay, passing a Background Check, and receiving a Letter of Approval.

Those who are not interested in (or are not eligible for) ordination may register for the Non-Ordination (Coursework Only) online training program if they would like to learn the material and deepen their knowledge of Satanism and The Satanic Temple.
