Here is how our Certificate program works:

​

If you choose the Certificate Tract

• those interested in entering full time ministry or who would like to study a focus area to the greatest extent possible need to complete six courses in a focus area or in combination with other focus areas.  Many options are available upon request and consultation with the Institute.

• It is also possible to combine focus areas to allow a person who is interested in full time ministry to be prepared to seek ordination from a local church association or denomination, but our certificates do not guarantee this, and we do not administer this process.

If you choose the Enrichment Tract

• those interested in the enrichment tract can choose from any course available in order to enrich their personal faith, biblical knowledge or to pursue a certificate later.  Enrichment tract courses can be combined later with certificate tract courses (some work may need to be added) to complete a certificate in that focus area.

You can choose to Audit any class​

• auditing a class does not result in credit for the course or credit towards any certificate but can be greatly beneficial to the biblical competency of the individual and is a stress-free way to study an individual subject or focus area.
