Professional Graduate Degree Programs
Prepare for ministry or further theological study with these graduate-level programs. Historically, we've called these programs "basic" to distinguish them from our "advanced" PhD-level programs and MA program. However, there is nothing basic about these programs! All of our programs and courses will prepare you for ministry, further study and a richer spiritual life in the knowledge of Christ.

The Certificate in Missional Leadership and Formation allows those in ministry to reflect on and sharpen their practice of ministry.
