Certificates in Interdisciplinary Theological Studies

Sponsored by the Aguirre School of Ministry

The Certificates in Interdisciplinary Theological Studies are specialized, short-term academic credentials offered through the Aguirre School of Ministry (ASM), designed for ministerial development and vocational preparation. These programs are ideal for individuals seeking to expand their theological knowledge and ministry competence in specific fields of study, without committing to a full-length degree program.

ASM equips students to grow in biblical understanding, ministry competence, and vocational readiness, empowering leaders to serve effectively in their local church, personal ministry, and broader Kingdom initiatives.
