About the Program

Focused Training, One Certificate at a Time

TCBS's certificate program lets you continue your theological education while earning certificates of completion in the areas that matter most to your ministry. Each certificate is built around three focused courses, offered during the college's quarterly academic calendar — a flexible path for students seeking targeted biblical training without committing to a full degree program.
