Western Seminary’s Center for Leadership Development (CLD) is designed to help equip people for growth and service.
It “represents a vital partnership between the Seminary and the local church that exists to provide a broad range of biblical, theological, and ministerial training resources to those seeking to be better equipped for service and/or ministry leadership.” Read more about the vision of CLD here.
This is accomplished by offering certificates on topics ranging from the Bible to Leadership to Faith & Work. After hosting The Bible: A Conference, The Parish Church and Refuge are teaming up to bring a cohort-style course to the North Bay. This ‘semester’ we’ll be walking through the Foundation In Bible Certificate. Whether you’re just beginning your journey through the Bible, or you’ve made it many times, reviewing the “road map” can be a must-do exercise. This certificate serves as an invaluable guide for that review. You’ll learn how the English Bible fits together, the big story that fills the pages of Scripture, secrets to effectively learning from the Bible’s pages and how God’s big plan touches us now and forever.
