Certificate of Ministry and Master of Ministry Programs:
Aims of the project: The Aims of the Certificate Program is to train the students to carry out specific ministry tasks in the Church; each student will complete at least 7 courses, 18 quarter-hours of education. Out of these 6 courses in each area of concentration, the students may choose any 4 and the 5th and 6th for Elective. The Aims of the Degree Program, on the other hand, offers a professional degree as well as establishes the theological foundations for the students to advance into professional and academic careers.
The Certificate Program is further divided by concentration into:
Certificate for Pastoral Cares
Certificate for Evangelism and Mission
Certificate for (Bible) Teachers
Certificate for Church Administrator
The students may decide to continue on to a Degree Program in each of the specific area of ministry; they may earn the degree with additional 7 or 8 (without thesis) course works of 20 quarter-hours. They may also attempt the Degree Program directly without a Certificate.
Master of Ministry in Pastoral Cares
Master of Ministry in Evangelism and Mission
Master of Ministry in (Bible) Teachings
Master of Ministry in Church Administrator
Curriculum is demonstrated as attached. Each sample program is marked by “v”s for suggested courses; of these courses (in addition to the “Electives”) no more than two (2) in each program, upon approval of the Dean, can be replaced by the ones of student’s interests.
