CERTIFICATE IN BIBLICAL STUDIES
Having a biblical foundation upon which a pastor, elder or church leader can build an effective ministry is crucial. Sometimes, individuals are called to vocational ministry and have not completed a bachelor’s degree. Completing an undergraduate degree first simply to qualify for a seminary masters’ degree is not a good option for many. The 36-hour Certificate in Biblical Studies provides 12 excellent courses in Bible, ministry and spiritual life.
Central Christian University’s Certificate in Biblical Studies will help you develop a comprehensive knowledge of both the Old and New Testaments, equipping you for ministry in a variety of settings. You will study the Bible, learning about the basic themes, issues and schools-of-thought in Christian theology, as well as develop the tools to integrate biblical knowledge with contemporary world issues and events.
The Biblical Studies Certificate is available online and on campus. It can be a standalone program, or can be used to supplement any CCU bachelor’s degree, giving you an opportunity to consider how biblical principles integrate with your career.
