Certificate in Ministry Program
The Multitude Experience Certificate in Ministry program is for those who are called to specialized ministries. Our participants realize they need additional training to fulfill the ministry God has dropped in their spirit therefore pursue work at the certificate level. We use a blended learning format. Curriculum is assessment based, customized, electronic and award winning! We encourage participants to work at their own pace.
The Multitude Experience is in the midst of a national accreditation process. Anticipated date of completion is Summer, 2017. This will allow our institute to award Continuing Education Units (CEUs) based on the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). The CEUs are accepted by associations, regulatory boards, corporations and higher education institutions.
Those who are called to be Senior Pastors/Pulpit Ministers are strongly encouraged to complete work at seminaries accredited by the Association of Theological Schools (ATS).
