Designed for Passionate Ministry Leaders & Congregants
Driven by SBC’s passion for nurturing effective church leadership, the Centre for Servant Leaders is thrilled to launch the Certificate of Church Ministry (CCM) program. This program is tailored to equip you, our valued lay leaders and members, with the vital ethos and skills needed to make a meaningful impact in your church and beyond.
Our modules are led by seasoned practitioner-theologians actively involved in churches or para-church organizations or our very own faculty members of SBC. All modules are audit-only, with no academic prerequisites nor exams. Participants can choose to enrol in the full program for a certificate or choose to take individual modules according to their interests.
So who is CCM catered for? We believe they are passionate individuals regardless of any formal theological educational background, including ministry leaders, young professionals and believers who are called to any ministries and services.
