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.
