General Information
The Graduate Diploma in Ministry Studies is a one year full time course, or part time equivalent. As an introductory postgraduate award in ministry, it offers the Christian professional a biblical, theological and ministry foundation to support their professional vocation. Many Christians choose care-based professions that they consider to be their ministry in society. The Graduate Diploma in Ministry Studies affords the student an initial grounding in the disciplines that undergird such a ministry while complimenting their existing tertiary qualification in their chosen profession.
Further, the Graduate Diploma in Ministry Studies offers students who are reassessing their profession an introduction to vocational knowledge and skills in a new professional area. The course provides opportunity for students to begin preparing for ministry in an evangelical/ charismatic setting or leadership position. The course is available via in on-campus mode and by external studies and fulfils the study requirements for ordination of Christian Outreach Centre.
CHC regards the Bible as the final referent particularly as it applies to defining and shaping Christian Ministry. In the light of this distinctive orientation, the personal, theological, and ministry dimensions of the course are integrated under the authority of Scripture as the revelation of God developed within theological reflection arising from Scripture and applied in ministry and mission.
