2007-2008 Grace University Catalog
Discipleship Certificate
The One-Year Discipleship Certificate is a program that reflects the strong tradition of Christian ministry at Grace University. The motivation for the Certificate is rooted in the principle that all Christ-followers are called to ministry—lay persons and vocational ministry professionals alike. Since some men and women are unable to complete typical two and four-year degree programs, this program is designed to provide a single year of study to those who want basic education and training in Bible and theology, as well as in Christian life and ministry.
The Discipleship Certificate, while self-contained by design, is constructed in such a fashion that a student can continue for a second year and complete an Associate in Bible. (That Associate degree is described at the appropriate location in this catalog.) This Certificate program satisfies the requirement of many mission agencies for a one-year program of biblical studies.
Objectives
Students who complete the Discipleship Certificate should demonstrate:
1. A general understanding of Scripture, and its themes;
2. A sense of world mission;
3. Skill in personal witness;
4. A Christian understanding of human behavior; and
5. The ability to communicate effectively.
