Ordination Program - Separate

We uphold that Ordination is a special calling upon an individual by God. Once the individual is aware of this high calling, it is foundationaly important to pursue Biblical education to further equip the individual with the applicable Biblical tools allowing the individual to fully perform the ministerial calling God has placed upon them.


  • "Ordination should be applied as a personal, special commitment between God and the individual. It is truly one of the most high callings."  DL


  • ​​All degree level studies have the option of including ordination.  With individual / certificate courses you can add ordination separately.


  • Entry requirements
