The Certificate in Ministry is a foundational program equipping lay believers for church leadership and ministry service. The curriculum develops biblical understanding, practical ministry skill, and spiritual maturity, with a substantial elective component that allows students to shape their study toward the ministry they are called to. Credits earned here carry forward into the Diploma in Theology.<\/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 the believer who has moved beyond helping occasionally and is now taking ministry seriously – whether that means bi-vocational service in a local church or preparation for full-time work later. It suits those who want accredited study without immediately committing to a full diploma.<\/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
