1st Year Certificate in Biblical and Theological Studies

Meet God on a new level of faith when you discover the truths to the most misunderstood book in the Christian faith, The Bible.
There are many opinions and interpretations of Scripture, and it has been like this since the Bible was written.

So why is this course different?

Because I ask the questions others refuse to ask, or do not think of.
When we read the Bible, we must understand how everything is connected from Genesis to Revelation. We must understand the spiritual message of the Word of God. We must understand which of the prophecies are spoken through metaphors and parables, and which are not.

We must understand that God clearly says in Scripture the following:
• The Law is spiritual – Romans 7:14
• The Law is eternal – Psalm 119:160
• The Law is holy – Romans 7:12
• The Law is the Way – Proverbs 6:23
• The Law is the truth – Psalm 119:142
• The Law is life – Galatians 3:21
If this is so, how is it connected to Jesus Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life?

We must understand how the Old Testament and the New Testament complement each other, and they are still connected. We must understand that the Old Testament Israelites are not just a history lesson, but we see a very accurate spiritual connection between them and what they did, and the modern believer and church.

This very important connection is widely misunderstood today, and rejected as no longer relevant.

This is a very interesting qualification that will most definitely give you a whole new perspective of the Word of God, and the message of the true gospel.
We must know this: the gospel is that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, but there is more to the gospel than that. Much More.

And starting our journey of discovery from Genesis to Revelation, we not only realize that the gospel is more complicated and interesting than that, but we discover a higher level of commitment and relationship with Jesus Christ.
When you have completed the 1st Year qualification, I am confident that you will be so curious that you cannot wait to start the 2nd Year Diploma.

This 1 -year course is a broad and inclusive curriculum, combining in-depth biblical study with theological insights. It is a balanced focus on both the content of the Bible (Old and New Testaments) and the theological principles that emerge from it. This qualification is well-suited for students who seek a well-rounded understanding of Christian scriptures and their theological implications.
This course also forms the necessary foundation to further studies in the Second Year Diploma and the Third Year Advanced Diploma qualifications, where after the student had the option to be ordained as a pastor. (Terms and Conditions apply to pastor ordination).

The course goes beyond plain scriptural knowledge, and combines theological reflections that help students understand the significance of biblical narratives, laws, and teachings in a broader theological context. This integration helps bridge the gap between academic study of the Bible and practical theology.

The unique course appeals to a wide range of students, including those interested in biblical exegesis, historical context, and theological application. It attracts individuals who wish to explore how biblical texts inform and shape Christian theology and practice.

Students who complete this certificate will be well-prepared for further theological education, ministry roles, or lay leadership positions within the church. The comprehensive nature of the course equips them with a solid foundation for various academic, pastoral, and personal applications.

The course focuses on demonstrating the connections between the Old Testament and New Testament. This emphasis helps students see the continuity and fulfillment of biblical themes and covenants, and provides a holistic view of the Bible’s narrative and its relevance to modern Christian faith and practice.

By linking biblical content with practical theology, students will not only learn about biblical texts but also how to apply their teachings in real-life contexts. This practical focus is crucial for those looking to live out their faith in alignment with biblical principles and theological understanding.
