Your pathway

Begin with Orientation, Foundations of Faith, and Creative Bible Study; continue through Old and New Testament Survey, the remaining Biblical Studies courses, Prayer and Spiritual Formation, and Ministry and Leadership. Arrange your pace with an instructor; individual course schedules are study guides, not a promised program completion date.

Certificate completion requirements

  1. Complete the Orientation readiness requirements and all 22 ministry courses listed in the four study areas above.
  2. Meet each course's published passing grade, required assessments, written assignments, and Moodle completion requirements.

This is an institutional, non-degree certificate. Core-course units are not represented as collegiate semester credits. The certificate does not itself confer ordination or professional licensure. Certificate awards require staff verification; they are not issued automatically by Moodle.
