The TIM Centre offers church leaders and all who seek to further develop intercultural competency the opportunity for training that helps them prepare for many challenges of fostering an increasingly diverse and inclusive ministry context.
Though each course we offer can be taken individually, students who take all four courses outlined in our concentrated certificates will earn a certificate of completion. Once a certificate is earned, taking any additional four courses will earn students a non-credit diploma.
Currently we offer the following majors/specializations:
Children’s Ministry Major
Children are our future spiritual leaders, so we need to nurture their faith formation rooted in biblical understanding and child development.
This certificate will affirm us with the mission of Children’s ministry and children’s’ potential of experiencing God. Through lecturing, hands-on activities, and small group discussions, students will be introduced to practical approaches and creative ways for designing programs that respond to the spiritual needs of children and nurture their growth.
Completion of any of the following two Children's Ministry courses will earn a Children's Ministry Training Certificate. Completion of three courses will earn an Advanced Children's Ministry Training Certificate. Completion of all four courses will earn a Certificate in Intercultural Competency with a major in Children's Ministry.
