Certificate in Theological Studies

Overview
Gettysburg Seminary’s Certificate in Theological Studies Program enables participants to deepen their faith, nurture and satisfy their hunger for greater theological understanding, grow in their passion for the gospel and for God’s people, and enhance their understanding of the practice of ministry.  The program consists of 15 regularly scheduled classes offered over a three year period of time (5 classes each year).  Class sessions meet during either four or seven day intensive periods of instruction in September, January, and July on the campus of Gettysburg Seminary.  Participants can choose to take all 15 classes in the program to receive the Certificate or they may opt to take only certain classes which meet their educational needs.  The program can help meet the learning objectives of those who are not yet interested in applying to one of the seminary’s degree programs, and can also help meet the Candidacy requirements of those preparing for rostered ministry through the Theological Education for Emerging Ministries (TEEM) program.    

Who is this kind of Learning for?
Those who would benefit most from all this Certificate program has to offer would be TEEM Candidates preparing to become pastors or diaconal ministers; Candidates preparing to become Associates in Ministry; life-long learners who are looking for the kind of deep Christian Education experience that can be offered by a seminary.

Classes Offered
Classes are offered in disciplines such as Biblical Studies (Old and New Testament), Systematic Theology, Lutheran Confessions and Heritage, Church History, Pastoral Care, Christian Education, Worship, Preaching, and Ethics.
