CERTIFICATE IN CHRISTIAN STUDIES

  • 1 YEAR (8 COURSES)

    This program is designed for Christians who desire a well-rounded introduction to the Christian faith but who do not wish to pursue an advanced degree in theology. The Ryle Certificate in Christian Studies (CCS) is awarded to those who attend and participate in eight ten-week courses, including Bible Survey, Turning Points in the Life of the Church, The Major Doctrines of the Faith, Evangelism and Apologetics, Discipleship and Vocation, Christian Behaviour, and two elective courses on classic Christian texts or major figures. Classes will be held in-person (with a zoom option). 

    Awarded on the basis of attendance and participation, the Ryle CCS does not meet the requirements of the Licentiate of Divinity or the Licentiate in Christian Studies.

deepen your faith

Not looking for a degree but still want to enrich your spiritual journey? The new Certificate in Christian Ministry is ideal for those who want to grow in their understanding of the Christian faith in an informed but not necessarily academic environment.

Certificate classes will include times of fellowship and prayer as we seek to build a community atmosphere rooted in a whole-person pursuit of Christ.

What People Are Saying

“Ryle was the place I needed to be… After three years of study, I graduated knowing God more, loving God more, and having a passion to introduce others to Him and to love His church and serve His church.”

- Colton Carrick 2020 Licentiate of Divinity Graduate.

  • Rev. Jonathan Camiré

    “Studying and being part of the community at Ryle has helped me stand firm in the biblical Gospel, to stay simple but faithful to the person and work of Jesus, and to trust the power of the Holy Spirit through prayer and the Word. The pastoral professorship of Ryle has equipped me to stand on God's Word in every sort and season of Gospel ministry; whether in leading my family, in preaching the Word, in sharing my faith with the believer and the curious, and in representing Jesus in the secular marketplace. I wholeheartedly recommend Ryle Seminary for its Bible and Gospel formation, in the shape and style of J. C. Ryle.”

  • Rev. Daniel Ativan

    “It’s clear that Ryle courses are designed to exalt God and His Son and that its professors truly have a love for the Lord. I would recommend Ryle to anyone who wants to grow in their faith and knowledge of God and wants to minister to His people.”

  • Rev. Brock Hewitt

    “Named after the man himself, Ryle Seminary has strong roots in the Evangelical Anglican tradition, emphasizing broadly reformed, robust and thoroughly Biblical teaching. The lectures at Ryle have been very beneficial for my formation as an Anglican Minister, and will continue to be key for my growth in theological knowledge and love for the Lord Jesus Christ.”

  • Rev. Colton Carrick

    “Ryle was the place I needed to be… After three years of study, I graduated knowing God more, loving God more, and having a passion to introduce others to Him and to love His church and serve His church.”

  • Rev. Matthew Usherwood

    Ryle was a place of deep growth for me and my relationship with the Lord. All the content is highly biblical and you will learn the whole counsel of God. It has given me a deep conviction and confidence to share the Gospel with those around me. I highly recommend attending Ryle.
