The Certificate in Biblical Studies. This 19-hour program is for students who want to learn more about the Bible. It is recommended for all committed Christians who want to grow in the Lord, learn who they are in Christ, and become established in the Word. It includes six college-equivalent semester courses and a 1-hour Ministry Practicum. Credits earned may be applied toward the Advanced Certificate and the Diploma of Theological Studies.

The Certificate in Christian Caregiving. This 19-hour program is for students who want to serve as lay counselors or ministers in the church (not to be a certified counselor). It is recommended for all ministerial staff and volunteers who want a better understanding of the needs and methods of caring for people to whom they minister. It includes six college-equivalent semester courses and a 1-hour Ministry Practicum. Credits earned may be applied toward the Advanced Certificate and the Diploma of Theological Studies.

The Agape College Diploma in Biblical Studies. This is the traditional Agape College program that is being merged with the Certificate in Biblical Studies. It is available primarily by E-Correspondence. Partial credit for courses in this curriculum may be applied toward the Certificate in Biblical Studies Program. Click here to find out more.

The Diploma of Theological Studies. The Diploma is designed for Christians who desire intensive training in Biblical Studies, theology, and practical ministries. This 66-hour approach to ministry training is especially attractive to pastors and lay persons in that the training occurs as part of the church’s own Bible Institute and is tailored to involve the laity in the ministries of the local church. Students can complete the Diploma through ORU after they have completed one or more of the Agape College Certificates.

The Advanced Certificate Program in Theology. This 33-hour program is designed to acknowledge each student’s accomplishment of completing half of the Diploma of Theological Studies curriculum. Students can achieve the Advanced Certificate at Agape College or through ORU after they have completed one or more of the Agape College Certificates.
