Certificate IV in Christian Ministry and Theology

This course is designed to prepare individuals for a range of Christian ministry roles such as chaplain, lay worker, ministry team leader, youth ministry worker and evangelist. It is also designed to equip employees in parachurch, community and Christian organisations with an understanding of the beliefs and values that guide Christian education, health, social services, child care or aged care so that they are able to work effectively in these sectors.

The course will provide participants with:

* knowledge of core Christian beliefs and practices;

* an ability to apply these beliefs and practices to a range of issues or contexts;

* skills to interpret and communicate Christian beliefs and practices;

* opportunities for personal ethical formation; and

* skills for work or further vocational training.
