Equip the Called: A New Graduate Certificate for Church Leaders

Are you looking to equip leaders in your congregation with a strong theological foundation? Has your ministry identified and nurtured God-given desires of members for spiritual and intellectual growth?

At Palmer Theological Seminary, we know that God is working through your ministry to build up the body of Christ. And we've designed an academically rigorous program to support you in the formation of community leaders, associate ministers, ministers in training, and lay people called to spread God's word.

On May 7th, Palmer Theological Seminary launched its Foundations of Theological Education Certificate. This part-time, graduate-level program takes just 9 months to complete. Classes meet in the afternoon and evening to accommodate working professionals. Students learn in community and earn 12 credits that can be applied to an MDiv or MTS degree at the seminary. Scholarships are available for those who qualify and are desiring to begin their seminary journey!

The Foundations of Theological Education Certificate continues Palmer’s 100 year-long legacy of empowering transformative leaders. Through robust, theological reflection and life-changing spiritual growth, students will hone their gifts for ministry. They will explore how faith can be integrated in their current vocation. And they will be encouraged to take The Whole Gospel to the Whole World through Whole Persons.

Please share this opportunity with Christian leaders ready to take the next step in their journey.
