Certificate in Christian Leadership

The Certificate in Christian Leadership will prepare leaders to live out the Irreducible Core (IC) of the Christian life in an integrated fashion through one’s life, vocation and ministry.
Students enrolled in the certificate program take only one course at a time. The courses must be taken in the sequence as listed. The student should expect that each course will take about ten weeks (or earlier depending on personal pace) and about 100 hours to complete. Each course is offered as a self-paced study program; students can anticipate completing each certificate in approximately 18-24 months.
