Diploma in Ministry

Course Details

About the Programme

The Diploma in Ministry is designed as initial training for people concerned with the pursuit of influence, people who want to make things happen, people who want to change the world.
Strong theological and biblical content is complimented by valuable practical subjects, to produce leaders of excellence in knowledge, skill and character.

This foundation enables graduates to pursue leadership roles in the workplace and in Christian ministry.

This is a course with two streams. Some students elect to complete all papers on campus. Others choose to complete an internship consisting of less papers but more practical learning as an intern in their local church.

This course allows entry into the Diploma in Leadership programme making it possible to do two years study via internship. The Diploma in Leadership is more focused on leadership and ministry skills and aims to prepare people for staff roles and leading churches.
