Certificates

We designed these certificates to enhance the biblical and theological knowledge of our students while focusing on the immediate, practical, and active implementation of the things they learn. Whether our students complete one course or a program of courses, we believe that their lives and ministries will be enriched through the process.

One of our ministry goals is to equip and lead students toward personal growth for the benefit of the local church. To achieve this goal, Seminary Extension offers certificate programs in the following areas: Bi-vocational Ministry; Lay Ministry Training; and Women’s Ministry.
