Develop skills and knowledge to lead with confidence in our holistic certificate program.
Our Certificate Program develops authentic, proficient, and theologically-informed ministry leaders. Students come from various backgrounds, from recent college graduates to those starting a second career. They may serve in full-time or part-time ministry, or even as volunteers.

We make this possible by collaborating with employers to ensure the cost of the program is covered.
