Description This second-year NZQA approved programme provides strong biblical and practical ministry foundations for Christian ministry leadership. Building a second year onto the Diploma in Christian Ministry (Internship), it enables an intern to gain significant depth to their ministry experience, while learning from their supervisor/mentor, extending their biblical and theological studies and strengthening their readiness for ministry leadership. Teaching is done in regional block courses. The average week's requirement is 12-20 hours study and 18 hours practical ministry. A great way to train potential leaders for further ministry.
