Our Certificate Program bundles courses into specialized areas of ministry. This enables students to focus their studies, thereby receiving specialized training and equipping for practical ministry. Certificates of Ministry are earned by successfully completing the five courses listed within each particular area of study.
1. Students may take as many certificate tracks during their course of study as desired to
equip themselves with specialized training for practical ministry.
2. Courses taken toward the completion of a certificate will also apply toward earning a
degree. Successful completion of a second certificate will also qualify a student to apply for the Diploma of Theology, etc.
3. For selected courses in the Certificate Program to qualify toward the appropriate certificate, each student must complete all coursework and successfully complete the examination. He or she must receive a passing grade on each course and maintain a grade point average(GPA) of 2.0 or higher.
4. Upon completion of the five courses in a certificate program, a Certificate Application Form must be submitted. Please follow the instructions provided on the form.
