Bible Exposition Certificate

Credential:  Graduate Certificate

Location:  Online

Program Director:  Dr. Sam Harbin

The Bible Exposition Certificate is designed to prepare Christian preachers and teachers to both interpret the Word accurately and communicate the Word relevantly.  While heavier weight is given to the interpretive journey, ample time is given to the communicative journey. The certificate effectively equips pastors, elders, lay teachers, youth leaders, and para-church leaders who desire to sharpen their skills for expository communication of the scriptures.
