Certificate in Congregational Leadership Student Learning Outcomes
Student Learning Outcomes
The overall goal of the Congregational Leadership Program of UDTS is to strengthen the church through quality theological education for laypersons. While the courses offered are particularly designed for those seeking commissioning as a Ruling Elder, they will serve the needs of all laypersons who are contributing their gifts to the ministry of their local church. Church officers, Christian education leaders and teachers, and persons who wish to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith will discover a rich opportunity through this program.
By completing the Certificate in Congregational Leadership, students will:
- Be formed by, live in, and minister out of Scripture and the historical and theological tradition of the Church.
- Educate and equip individuals and congregations to live and minister joyfully and faithfully as part of their own denomination and the ecumenical church.
- Integrate theology and practice in all areas of life.
