MB Seminary Celebrates First Certificate Recipients

On May 28, 2022, MB Seminary celebrated the first class of students to complete the Ministry Foundations Certificate. This inaugural group participated through the teaching church partnerships established with Willingdon Church (Burnaby, BC) and North Langley Community Church (Langley, BC) during the 2021-22 academic year. 

The Certificate is composed of four courses designed to provide a rich foundation for immediate ministry impact. Each course, taught by MB Seminary faculty, provides a Mennonite-Brethren perspective on the topics of discipleship, interpreting Scripture, Christian leadership practices, and pastoral care. 

Sixteen graduate students successfully completed the Certificate and two others earned the Continuing Education Certificate. The celebration was hosted on the Trinity Western University campus in Langley, BC.
