Certificate in Christian Ministry

The Certificate in Christian Ministry 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. In addition, the particular emphases provided by the certificate program will allow an essential knowledge base along with skill competencies to be acquired and validated in preparation for vocational/ career pursuit.

 

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 less depending on personal pace) and 100 hours to complete. Each course is offered as a self-paced study program; students can anticipate completing this certificate in approximately 24-27 months.
