The Certificate in Lay Leadership is the entry point to study at Amen Bible College. It is designed to equip believers who desire to serve faithfully in the ministries of their local church, preparing them to support pastoral leadership and to carry responsibility across the varied work of congregational life. The program moves briskly through the shape of Scripture and the practical demands of church service, giving a working foundation rather than a specialist’s depth.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\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
