The Professional Christian Ministries Certificate is designed to provide elementary skills and knowledge needed to minister effectively in today’s North American culture. It is most suited for individuals who do not have a prior bachelor’s degree from a Christian college or seminary, but are paid or volunteer workers in a church ministry setting. Individuals who serve as elders or deacons in a church may also benefit from the program. Upon completion, graduates may apply these fifteen credits toward an associate’s or bachelor’s degree at Mid-Atlantic Christian University.
