Most students start their training at ALS at the certificate level. At the Certificate Level<\/strong>, the student will grow in his or her understanding of the Bible, theology, and practical ministry in a practical, repeatable way. The program is designed for all Christians and will prepare a student for lay leadership in a Christian congregation. Students will gain experience in forming and leading a group. Studying at this level will also help the student and ALS determine if a student has the requisite gifts for service in the church and further theological studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students who complete the certificate level may enroll in our Diploma Level <\/strong>program which will provide additional foundation for service within the local congregation. These classes provide a deeper study of the Scriptures and a basic equipping for leading worship, for preparing and presenting Bible studies, and for\u00a0group leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together, the certificate and diploma programs amount to 48 credits<\/strong> which the student can apply toward study at the [Bachelors]<\/strong> and [Masters]<\/strong> Level.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
