[Kitchener, May 27, 2022] – New for the fall, Emmanuel Bible College (EBC) will launch its one-year Christian Studies Certificate. Starting September 2022, first-year students at EBC will be automatically enrolled in the foundational program that offers a unique blend of theological studies and practical experiences.
Available online or in-person, two tracks are available for the certificate. One is a Foundation Track that leads into Emmanuel’s degree programs. It equips students with academic foundations and practical field experience for real-life ministry. The other is an Exploration Track for students who plan to pursue further college or university studies after this foundational year. It provides students an opportunity to deepen their faith, cultivate healthy spiritual rhythms, and develop a Biblical worldview, while taking highly transferable general studies courses.
“Thousands of students have been equipped by their time at Emmanuel to make significant contributions globally and in communities across Canada. As part of the EBC family, students become deeply rooted in their faith, so they can grow forward into that unique place God calls them. Our new one-year Christian Studies Certificate is tailor-made to help our students find their areas of gifting and interest.” (Neil Cudney, President of EBC).
For students, benefits of the Christian Studies Certificate include:
- A theologically-based curriculum that positions students for life-long growth in their faith journey
- Intentional spiritual growth experiences and service opportunities
- In-person or online course options available
- Small class sizes, providing students the opportunity to be known and grown by faculty
For EBC, establishing the certificate is an outworking of its focus on ensuring students are “Deeply Rooted, Growing Forward.” Students are provided an opportunity to discover their interests and find their passion in life–whatever path God may call them on–in an environment that helps them embrace academic challenges, develop practical skills, and grow in their faith through personal discipleship.
