Churches are ill-equipped in general to train ministers. I would suggest a Bible College for ministerial training and higher learning. That is not to say a church cant make you a better anything, it can. But for the purpose of full-time ministry, you really need that Bible College training to develop and discover your spiritual gifts and work on your theology and beliefs before you can presume to teach others.
A church is where you serve God and your fellow man and I would think you would be going anyway.....? Are you not going to church now?

What? You are supposed to be a teacher if you are a reverend or priest. You're supposed to teach the congregation, not vice versa.
Enroll in a seminary.

well it depends. if it's a good church it probably will. if you're looking at being a priest or reverend as a profession then seminary would probably be your best bet.

If you go to your local Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses, they will teach you the truth. It will be up to you as to what you actually do with it.

they will teach you the wisdom and knowledge they have in return to you teaching them the wisdom and knowledge you have. it is a mutual learning experience for all concerned.

Maybe not, you need to go to a pastors convention with workshop.

No, but they will try to brainwash you into docile, unquestioning obedience.

That's what ministry is all about, equiping the saints for ministry.
