The Students for Christ in partnership with Continental Theological Seminary (Brussels) launched the Certificate of Ministry program to equip current SFC staff workers as well as current and former SFC students with biblical and theological content to navigate life and ministry within the real world. Throughout the year various modules consisting of 18 hours divided over a number of weekends will be offered. Upon successful of a module, the student will receive a ministry certificate through CTS. This is a not-for-credit program.

At this point, the program will run over a 2-year cycle. Year 1 will feature “Fundamental Theology,” “Hermeneutics,” “Acts of the Apostles,” “Intro to Missions,” and “Intro to Pastoral Counseling.” Year 2 will such classes as “New Testament Survey,” “Old Testament Survey,” “European Church history,” “Biblical Ethics,” and “The Gospel for Secular People.” Any class may change, depending on meeting minimum participant registration and availability of teaching staff.
