Read MoreThe Diploma in Theology gave me the biblical and theological grounding I needed to teach and lead in my local church with confidence. I am so grateful for the quality of the program and the support I received.
As a lay pastor with no formal training, the Diploma in Theology was exactly what I needed. The distance learning format allowed me to study while continuing my ministry, and the courses were practical and relevant.
After completing the Diploma, I enrolled in the Bachelor of Theology program. The diploma gave me a strong foundation that prepared me well for more advanced theological study. I highly recommend it.
