What is the Advanced Diploma of Biblical Ministry?
The Advanced Diploma of Biblical Ministry is further training in Christian ministry that follows the Diploma of Biblical Ministry.
It comprises eight units. The first two units are specifically designed to build you up in ministry.
The remaining six units comprise a major project, which is designed to be appropriate to your particular ministry and giftings. The project requires you to plan a significant advance in your ministry, implement it and evaluate it. It is based on the project methodology that is typical in Master and Doctor of Ministry programs.

Scholarships
Limited scholarships are available on a case-by-case basis to persons with demonstrated need who are within the VCI network and currently in Christian ministry. Please contact Veritas College International Inc. for further information.
Duration and time commitment
It usually takes 1 to 2 years to do this qualification.
Your time commitment depends on how much of your ministry time is dedicated to taking on your next major challenge, which is all part of your project. However, time given to other activities, such as routine church work, is not part of your project.
