If a baby cleric may join the conversation . . .
These won't be quite as exciting as the other suggestions, but might be acceptable for lower levels. Perhaps "missionary" or "evangelist", attached to a teaching requirement maybe? I didn't notice anything like that on the list, but clerics certainly spend a lot of time in classes.

I like both of those, but usually a missionary is not someone who is in the youth of their faith and therefore I would add that to get said title you would have had to have done at least a few quests.

Depends on the religion -- the vigor associated with youth is often seen as an asset to missionary work. Mormons, for example, do their missionary work when they're young (no older than 26 IIRC).
Maybe a Cleric who's learned a MM spell can be a televangelist...

To wit, Bambina said "youth of their faith", not "youth". In such a case, it is the maturity of one's faith, not one's age, that matters.
Ergo, a couple cleric quests or a dozen circles and sufficient devotion fits just fine.

Actually, the Mormon Church requires its younger members to go on a mission after they graduate high school, if I remember correctly. I know my own church sends high school and college kids on mission trips to Mexico, and many young preachers who have just received their ordination do so precisely to go to the mission field. So there's a precedent.
But I was thinking "lower level" as in "not ridiculously godlike like some of the titles suggested here would have to be." Maybe somewhere in the twenties or thirties?

Different churches have differing standards. Some (as the moromon example) have faith/age dicotomy. Some have simple age standards, and some (southern baptist) have no age or other requirement other than 'I want to go'.
I put it to Lirrak to decide what he wants it to be. Since he's the GM, after all.

I did indeed. My daughter almost went on her first missions trip last year (at age 12).

Missionary makes sense as a low circle Cleric title, IMO. Perhaps as low as 5th circle or so.
Given the guild itself has us run over half of Zoluren in the first few circles alone, it's not a stretch to see low circle players travelling to spread the word of the gods.

A very good point. And the gods know, we lowbies spend enough time yammering about the gods in an attempt to find out what we're doing to qualify as missionaries and evangelists. Or, at least, nuisances.
