The Diploma in Theology prepares men and women for teaching, preaching, and pastoral ministry. It builds a systematic theological foundation across the three main areas of Christian doctrine, sets that doctrine within the history of the Church and the cultures the gospel meets, and tests it in supervised ministry practice. Graduates are equipped to serve as full-time or bi-vocational pastors and church workers.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t

For those called to pastoral or preaching ministry, and for existing ministers who have served on calling and experience and now want the theological grounding to match. It is also the natural next step for graduates of the Certificate in Ministry.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
