Pastoral Ministry Diploma (Diploma in Christian Ministries - Level 5)
We have designed the Pastoral Ministry Diploma in response to requests for a Pastoral focused qualification at Diploma level. This is an opportunity for people wanting to enter pastoral ministry to study a ministry focused course with a practical Ministry placement in a church context. The course provides an overview of the scriptures and theology, pastoral ministry, church history, and evangelism.
This program is an amazing opportunity to empower the individual and their church with the convenience of delivery and relevancy of subjects which ensure that the student and church can obtain maximum benefit from their commitment. It is available through campus study as well as distance learning.
Entry Requirements
Minimum 18 years of age with high school literacy and numeracy skills. Pastoral reference required. International students should have a minimum English ability equivalent to IELTS 5.5.
Prescription
How is it Delivered?
The Pastoral Ministry Diploma is structured around:
1. Campus based OR Distance learning (course resources and reading available via our online learning platform called Moodle)
2. A pratical ministry placement in a local church
3. Written assessment (essays, reflections, tests, practical activities etc)
One week intensives are also available for some subjects and these are held around New Zealand at various times during the year.
Alphacrucis supplies most of the resources (some readings will come from textbooks which the student is required to purchase – these books may be found at most Christian bookstores).
