Building Better Leaders Faster

Manna University is passionate about meeting the needs of local churches by equipping leaders where they are. To this end, we are partnering with multiplication-minded churches to offer our Certificate in Church Leadership Program in an accessible, intensive format. This program is for both lay leaders and church staff-members who desire additional biblical training, and it consists of a series of 8-week courses, taken two at a time over three semesters.
 
This program is available 100% online. However, students are strongly encouraged to participate in live engagement Zoom meetings on Mondays night from 6 pm to 9 pm. Each course will have approximately 4 Zoom meetings.
 
 
All courses are for-credit and may be applied to any further Undergraduate program at Manna University.
 
Students who qualify for Federal Financial Aid or VA Education Benefits can use them to finance this program.
 
Full-time students (12 hours per semester) are eligible to apply for the Multiply Church Leader Scholarship (40% tuition discount) if they are not utilizing Federal Financial Aid or VA Education Benefits. All courses in this program are offered in an 8-week format; so, full-time students are taking two courses per 8-week term, totaling four courses per semester.
 
Part-time students (less than 12 hours per semester) are eligible to apply for the LifeLong Learner Scholarship if they are not utilizing Federal Financial Aid or VA Education Benefits. All courses in this program are offered in an 8-week format; so, part-time students are taking one course per 8-week term, totaling two courses per semester.
