Certificate in Preaching
PURPOSE
The Certificate in Preaching is designed for those who desire further understanding of and proficiency in the preaching of the Scriptures to God’s people for God’s glory. It may also be used by those who may not possess a baccalaureate degree but wish to demonstrate the ability to complete a master’s program in a ministerial discipline. Admission to the certificate does not ensure admissions to a Trinity degree program; however, it is designed so that courses completed may apply toward a future TEDS degree.

- Fulfill the admission requirements as listed in the Post-Baccalaureate Certificates Admission Requirements.
