Build a Solid, Lasting Faith through Word and Wisdom

Build the foundational skills of theological interpretation, tracing God's redemptive story from Genesis to Revelation through rigorous biblical scholarship rooted in the Great Tradition.

This certificate equips students to read Scripture as Christians, understanding both its human and divine authorship while tracing the unfolding theological themes across the canon. From Old Testament foundations through New Testament fulfillment, students develop competency in redemptive-historical interpretation, biblical theology, and the movement from careful exegesis to faithful doctrinal confession.

Engage with the Great Tradition's theological wisdom, learning to confess Christ faithfully through the creeds, confessions, and doctrinal developments that have shaped orthodox Christianity across the centuries.

This certificate trains students in the task of theology—explaining to one another our confession and what it means for us today. Students engage with the wisdom of Christians across the ages who have guarded the deposit of faith entrusted by Christ to the Apostles, grounding their theological understanding in the ecumenical creeds and confessions of the early Church.

Equip yourself for faithful Christian witness in our post-Christian age, learning to apply biblical ethics and theological convictions to contemporary cultural challenges with both pastoral sensitivity and intellectual rigor.

This certificate prepares students to engage culture with one ear to Scripture and one ear to surrounding context, letting Scripture read our hearts and minds while shining Christ's light across every inch of the world. Students develop strategies for cultural apologetics, public theology, and ministry in an increasingly secular world where various worldviews compete beneath claims of neutrality.
