Want to stretch yourself theologically? Want to understand how the whole Bible fits together? And have a deeper understanding of the Bible? Feel your ministry is hampered because you don’t have enough understanding of God and his purposes?
The Preliminary Theological Certificate is for you! PTC is a correspondence course done through Moore Theological College. There are no prior educational requirements but the 'average' person could successfully complete this course with appropriate study. You should be prepared to spend about five hours each week studying the subject, but the more work done, the more value you'll gain from the course. The course can be done individually but we have found there is great benefit in doing the course together in a group with committed Christians seeking to spur one another on.
The course in not designed to lead to ordination in any denomination, but can be a valuable introduction to full time theological study. Two certificates of award are available, and many organisations accept these as evidence of basic theological study.
As of Term 1, 2008, the Certificate in Theology is divided into three stages of 6 units. The Preliminary Certificate in Theology is now comprised of:
Introduction to the Bible
Old Testament 1
New Testament 1
Doctrine 1
Ephesians
and an option between Prayer Book, Christian Worship or Promise to Fulfilment (new unit available in Term 3, 2008).
