The Graduate Certificate in Ministry Foundations, offered through Trinity Western University's Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, provides biblically grounded training in pastoral care, discipleship, and leadership for lay leaders and those considering ministry roles. The program consists of five courses: Research Strategies, Evangelism & Faith Formation, Mission & Culture, Educational Ministries & Leadership, and Pastoral Theology & Practices. The anticipated length is 8 to 12 months of part-time study. It is designed for lay leaders and aspiring ministry professionals who want structured theological and leadership training while continuing to work or volunteer in their communities, and it functions both as a standalone credential and as a gateway to further Divinity School study, such as the MA in Christian Ministries or the Master of Divinity.
