Certificates

BiblicalTraining and its partners offer certificate programs aimed at helping you grow and learn within the community of your church.

We will be offering these certificates starting in September. At that time, you will be able to sign up as an individual or part of a group. A small fee will be charged, which will vary based on the amount of coursework required for each certificate. We will be announcing the specific certificates and the cost of each later this summer.

Why Certificates?

First, certificate programs provide structure and direction that allow you to get the most from your learning.

Second, these programs provide tangible milemarkers for you as you learn and grow.

Third, certificate programs help you learn in and with community by giving your group a common learning path. We encourage people to enroll as a group where they can have a mentor to lead discussions, make assignments, and coordinate meetings. 

Which Certificate Program?

You can choose from a variety of certificates, organized according to three categories of learners.

Spiritual Foundations programs are for new believers and those needing to examine the basics of what it means to follow Jesus.

Biblical Foundations programs are for elders and other key church leaders who need to gain core biblical and theological knowledge in order to serve and lead well.

Ministry Leadership programs are for pastors, church staff and high-capacity volunteers who need a heightened understanding of theology, Bible, and ministry practice in order to minister more effectively.

The certificates will be awarded based on the successful completion of an online quiz made up of objective questions from the lecture material. The certificate of completion will be awarded by BiblicalTraining and is not certified for credit.
