School of Ministry
The School of Ministry exists to further equip believers to serve in active ministry roles within their local church fellowship. Whether you are a nursery worker, a Sunday School teacher, an usher, or on the pastoral staff, the greater and the deeper your understanding of the foundations of the Christian faith, the better prepared you are to serve wherever and however God has called you to serve.
All courses may be taken as part of the School of Ministry Certificate Program, or they may be taken ala carte.
Our mission and goal are to be a resource for the Body of Christ, providing the tools and expertise in training people in more advanced levels of understanding and proficiency in doing theology every day. You decide what level and how long you desire to study.
