COURSE DESCRIPTION
The Graduate Diploma in Ministry is a one-year course, and is available on both a full time and part time basis.
Many Christians choose care-based professions that they consider to be their ministry in society.

The course provides opportunity for students to begin preparing for ministry in an evangelical/charismatic setting or leadership position.
The course fulfils the study requirements for ordination of the International Network of Churches (INC).
The maximum time allowed for the completion of the Graduate Diploma in Ministry is 5 years. Extensions beyond this time may be approved where extenuating circumstances exist.
