Wilson Colleges Graduate Certificate in Ministry and Leadership is 10 credits. The program contains five classes developed and taught by Dr. Wilson. These courses are specifically designed to equip students for the next level of leadership and ministry.

Human Spirituality

This course introduces students to the seminal subject of "being." Students also analyze the remarkable journey inward and outward in personal development, including the role of courage, decision making, and interaction with the inward and outward world of the individual.

Potential and Personal Emergence

Students analyze the remarkable journey inward and outward in personal development, including the role of courage, decision making, and interaction with the inward and outward world of the individual. Students explore this journey including its necessity, dangers, and navigation, recognizing that personal emergence is the only avenue to the fulfillment of one’s personal possibilities and destiny.

Vision: Knowing Through Seeing

In this course, students explore both the ethereal and the practical aspects of vision—what it is, how it comes, and its primacy of place in effective ministry. The course also includes discussion of the contrasts and interplay between visionary and managerial ministry. Biblical as well as historical models are researched, with emphasis on applicability to the individual.

Mission: Global to Individual

Authentic mission always derives from vision and leads to action. Beginning with these connections, this course exposes the student to the origins, characteristics, and methods that are revealed biblically for mission with the goal of equipping the student for effective missional activities.

Action in Leadership

In this course, the role and nature of process, program, and planning that lead to effective ministry are discussed. Students explore precedents to spiritual action, the nature of such action, and the results that one can expect. The goal is to assist students in avoiding ineffective actions and enhancing spiritual returns on efforts.
