Certification in Evangelism
Receiving this certification is the denomination's recognition that you - whether lay or clergy, whether deacon or elder - have met the required standards for academic training and experience necessary to achieve professional excellence in Evangelism. During the coursework you will gain a broader perspective and be empowered to serve lead your congregation in sharing the Good News of Jesus Christ to the broader community more effectively than ever before. Plus, you will form a network across the denomination that will be a resource for you for the rest of your life.
Garrett-Evangelical cooperates with The United Methodist Church by providing courses that meet the educational requirements for professional certification. A student in an MDiv or MA program may complete certification requirements through five courses in a professional specialization, plus field education and United Methodist Studies.
An alternative route for professional certification is the completion of the following cluster of courses for a particular field:
