The Biblical Certificate program will prove invaluable as students continue on in secular colleges, marriages, careers, missions, ministry opportunities, etc.. This is a one-year program covering 32 semester hours (or 480 clock hours) of Bible, theology, world view, and practical ministry, giving the student a solid Biblical foundation. The purpose is to equip students who plan to pursue a liberal arts education, a secular vocation, or a ministry opportunity to effectively defend, communicate, and live their faith as they interact with the world around them. At the end of the year the student may elect to enter a Degree program. Our curriculum is designed so that all 32 hours will count toward Degree programs.
