Be Equipped to Lead Others Effectively
Your Graduate Certificate in Ministry Leadership will provide skills and training you need for successful leadership in a variety of contexts. You’ll learn the principles of excellence in ministry leadership from a biblical perspective and mature spiritually. You’ll also be equipped to plan, organize, lead, resolve conflicts, manage change, and set the ministry direction in your church or Christian organization, wherever God calls you.
You’ll be able to take classes when—and how—it’s most convenient for you. Our on-campus courses are offered both in the evenings and during the day in Chicago and Michigan. We also teach them online and in a hybrid format that combines online and in-person instruction. All credits are also fully transferrable if you want to continue your graduate studies at Moody Theological Seminary!
