The Certificate in Applied Ministry is designed to equip kingdom leaders with tools and skills that enhance their ministry, job, vocation, or creative outlet. The program emphasizes practical teaching that empowers students to apply what they learn in their daily lives and ministries. The program consists of the two Ministry Dynamics courses: Equipping for Ministry and Spiritual Transformation.
Completing the Ministry Dynamics courses (Equipping for Ministry and Spiritual Transformation) earns a Certificate in Applied Ministry. It also earns credit towards other seminary degree programs. Themes include identity-centered ministry, emotional health and tools, and spiritual transformation.
1- Equipping for Ministry: This course focuses on ministry development. It incorporates a variety of kingdom tools that enhance every area of ministry, including personal growth, spiritual gifts, leadership, connection, communication, counseling, and coaching. It also provides action steps from many areas of applied ministry. EFM course partners with experienced ministers and activates those just beginning their ministry journey.
2- Spiritual Transformation: This course focuses on spiritual development. It builds from a biblical framework to formulate transformative solutions for life and ministry. Identifying God, ourselves, and others from the proper perspective transforms our lives and ministries. Likewise, a healthy heart-connection to God, ourselves, and others will empower lasting fruit in our sphere of influence.
