Certificate in Ministry
About the Programme
The Certificate in Ministry is designed as a foundational course for people serving their local church. It covers a wide range of knowledge and skills from New Testament Survey, Theology and Hermeneutics to Leadership, Preaching and Church Growth.
Delivered as a series of block courses or evening classes, this course was developed to have a minimum impact on everyday life and full-time employment. The whole course is concentrated into nine weekend learning periods over three years, plus self directed study and assignments. The weekends feature excellent speakers, awesome worship and wonderful fellowship. This course allows people to up-skill and broaden their knowledge without interrupting their busy lives.
