The Certificate Program

Offering Specialized Training
Christian Leadership University offers certificate programs in each of our major concentrations. These can be considered specialized training since the student is taking only courses which train for skill in a specific area.
In addition to the certificate programs which Christian Leadership University offers, you may develop your own program with the assistance of the Dean. This can be personalized to your specific needs by choosing courses of interest from our various majors.

We encourage people pursuing certificate programs to strongly consider also taking the following.

Several hundred verses on silver and gold will be examined, showing that we are to create and release wealth into the kingdom of God.
