Overview
The Certificate in Church planting incorporates expertise in the field of Church planting from a compilation of three faculty members that have had extensive experience in the international and domestic church planting. This certificate does not aim to outline a single structure for church planting but rather seeks to bring a biblical understanding for the theory of church planting as well as different methodologies associated with the topic.
