Continuing Education

Our continuing education offerings are designed for those already serving in ministry, counseling, or Christian education who need structured academic growth without entering a full degree program. These options help you stay current, strengthen your leadership, and, where applicable, maintain professional standing.
Certification Preparation courses support students who are pursuing recognized ministry or counseling-related certifications. We review current standards and expectations, then organize course content around the knowledge and skills those certifications require. You will work through focused readings, practice exams, and practical assignments that relate to your present role, reducing anxiety around testing and strengthening your grasp of key concepts.
Continuing Education Units (CEUs) provide accredited learning opportunities that can contribute to licensure renewal, association requirements, or internal church and school professional development plans. Topics may include ethics in Christian counseling, classroom management in faith-based schools, or contemporary issues in theology and ministry. Documentation is provided so you can report your CEUs accurately to your board or organization.
Faith-Based Leadership Training serves current and emerging leaders in churches, Christian schools, and ministries. Courses address subjects such as leading teams, navigating conflict, stewarding resources, and cultivating spiritual health in leadership. Each module ties practical leadership skills to biblical examples and Christian doctrine so your decision-making remains grounded in Scripture.
Many continuing education options are available online with flexible pacing, making them realistic for bi-vocational pastors, Christian educators, and lay leaders. Our advising team can help you select offerings that match certification goals or institutional requirements, and we can often integrate these studies with longer degree pathways if you later decide to pursue formal academic credentials.
