Preschool and Children Ministry Certification Application
Please note: This application is to be completed by people wishing to participate in the Preschool and Children Certification jointly sponsored by the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship and Campbell University Divinity School.
If you are using this application form (rather than Campbell University Divinity School application form) you will not receive academic credit for the courses taken, although you will receive the certification after completion of the 12 semester hours required. You may not take the courses for non-credit and later receive credit toward a degree. If you would like to receive academic credit for the course work, you must apply to Campbell Divinity School and use their application process.
Eligibility
You must have a high school diploma, but a college degree is not required for noncredit certification. We seek students who are academically and emotionally prepared for theological education as evidenced by their Christian commitment, leadership potential, church involvement, and an ability to do graduate-level work. You must be endorsed and recommended by your church as well as complete each course satisfactorily in order to continue in the certification process. We reserve the right to limit admissions for any reason to insure the quality of the certification program.
