Description The Certificate in Christian Ministry gives current worship leaders the opportunity to invest in a year of developing and refining your skills. It is designed to keep students ministering in their local church setting while receiving training from some of New Zealand’s finest worship leaders. This NZQA approved qualification consists of 8 hours of practical worship ministry and 8 hours of assignments and study each week. Most students, as worship leaders, are already doing the 8 hours of worship ministry. We provide a framework of reflective and academic assigments over these ministry hours to help students develop as the Worship Leaders who God is calling them to be. Students attend three one-day ‘Worship Sessions’ throughout the year. This forms the core of their study and interaction. The rest of the course is offered through online papers and tutor interaction, enabling the course to be somewhat flexible to fit around students' busy lifestyles.
