The Church Ministries Certificate Program
For many local ministries, the most important step to an effective lay leadership training program is locating and implementing an inspiring, motivational system of instruction. The Church Ministries Certificate Program is uniquely designed to organize ETA curriculum materials into specific areas of study. In addition, the student’s progress is rewarded each step of the way. The ETA Classroom Series provides the core curriculum. Other ETA study options are permitted as electives.
