Introduction to Biblical Studies and Ministry
Introduction to Biblical Studies and Ministry has been designed to equip Christians to read the Bible for themselves, grow in godliness and help others follow Jesus. Some subjects will help you deepen your understanding of God, His Word and His World, others will equip you with skills to teach God’s Word to others.
There are 9 subjects in this course. Subjects typically run over 19 weeks and require approximately 3 hours a week to complete training activities. 1.5 hours will be spent in a small group discussion and another 1.5 hours doing readings, ministry activities and assessments.
Attaining the Introduction to Biblical Studies and Ministry Certificate is one pre-requisite to entering our Intermediate Biblical Studies and Ministry Certificate.
