Certificate
If you have seen the need to help change the world but are uncertain about precisely where God's call is leading you, the Biblical Ministries Certificate is designed to provide a bridge between secular education and vocational or lay ministry.
Its flexibility lies in the fact that, although it marks the completion of basic study if you choose to end your ministry preparation with the Certificate, it may also be applied toward a degree program if you choose to continue.
The Certificate has been highly recommended by mission agencies, churches, and parachurch organizations as laying a solid biblical and theological foundation for ministry.
