Graduate Certificates

Our Graduate Certificates will strengthen your foundation in theological and biblical study. We’ll help you integrate spiritual formation with theological knowledge so you can apply your faith to your work and ministry.

In these programs, you’ll practice spiritual growth, intercultural competence, and contextual analysis. You’ll receive basic theological training to enhance your participation in your congregation, your profession or your own spiritual formation.

These Graduate Certificates will prepare you for a wide range of ministry opportunities by helping you incorporate the Anabaptist tradition in service of your current and future communities.
