The Long Hollow School of Ministry Ministry Leadership Certificate is specifically designed for core volunteers and those exploring a future in ministry leadership or staff roles. Each course offers biblical, theological, and practical training at a depth and standard we expect from our ministry staff—equipping you to lead with clarity, character, and conviction.
To receive a Ministry Leadership Certificate, apply for the program and begin coursework during the next available session. Courses may be taken in any order, so there’s no need to worry about prerequisites. Monthly meetings with a Long Hollow staff member are required for this certificate, as are summer cohorts. A certificate may be earned in as little as two years (four semesters and summer cohorts), but students should feel free to move at their own pace.
A Christian Leadership Certificate is also offered.
