Be Equipped to Apply Biblical Truths to Your Life and Ministry

With a Graduate Certificate in Biblical Foundation, you’ll be equipped to apply biblical truths to practical problems encountered in life and ministry. You’ll also gain a deeper understanding of the Scriptures and biblical spiritual formation, which will prepare you to serve wherever God may lead.

This certificate is designed for individuals who graduated from a secular college or university and want to deepen their understanding of the Bible and the spiritual disciplines essential to a thriving walk with God.

With on-campus classes in Chicago and Plymouth, Michigan, this certificate is a great option if you want to strengthen your knowledge of Scripture in a short amount of time. All credits are also fully transferable if you decide to continue your graduate studies at Moody Theological Seminary.

Here’s How We’ll Prepare You for Ministry

This program seeks to attain three types of outcomes in students’ development: academic, professional, and relational.
Academic – The certificate program will instill in you a practical and biblical worldview. This worldview will serve as a foundation for explaining and defending traditional evangelical doctrinal beliefs.
Professional – You will develop skills in interpreting the Bible, using basic Bible study tools, applying and communicating biblical truth, and impacting others for Christ inside and outside the church.
Relational – The program will stimulate your spiritual development by providing opportunities for you to grow in your relationship with God and focus on the integration of faith and practice as you study the curriculum, apply lessons to your walk with Christ, and engage in classroom discussions with your professor and fellow students.
