Certificate in Workplace & Marketplace Ministry

About this programme
You are fully engaged on Sunday and invisible by Monday. The trader, the civil servant, the teacher, the nurse: each spends most of their waking life somewhere the church rarely mentions, and quietly assumes that ministry belongs to the people on the platform.
This certificate treats the workplace as a real assignment. You study what Scripture says about work, calling and authority, then examine leadership and money on Christian terms in a setting where a bribe is the normal way to get a file moved. The thinking required is ethical and practical at once, since the question is rarely what is right in principle but what integrity costs on a Tuesday morning. Sharing faith with colleagues is treated as an ordinary part of the week rather than a campaign.
You will come away with a settled sense that your work is not a lesser calling, practical footing for leading in it honestly, and the confidence to pastor the people around your desk. Picture next week at the office with that behind you. Professionals, business owners and pastors who take their working members seriously are all welcome to apply.
10 courses across 2 semesters, about 1 year of study.
Who it is for
Believers who want a solid grounding in one area of ministry without committing to a degree. It suits workers already serving in a local church, and anyone returning to study after a long gap.
What you will be able to do
Speak and serve with confidence in this area of ministry, understand what Scripture teaches about it, and put that understanding to work in your local church.
