One-year Bible Certificate
The Bible Certificate is a 30-credit undergraduate program intended for students who desire to serve the Lord in ministry and desire special training in Bible and Christian service.
Program Structure and Requirements
The Bible Certificate may serve as either a short course of study for a lay person who wishes to understand, interpret, and apply Bible truth more effectively or as the introduction to a longer course of study for one who wishes to prepare for full-time ministry on a church staff. The courses required for the Bible Certificate form a foundation for those who choose to continue their studies.
