A message from the CMT Director - Chris Gribble

Thank you for your interest in the Affordable Bible College Courses and the associated Electives which you need to complete in order to achieve a full Certificate IV or Diploma in Christian Ministry and Theology.
We've chosen these Electives Unit Pathways for two reasons:
  • They offer skills that are useful in 21st century church, community, and employment contexts
  • These Units can contribute to further qualifications that provide training to equip you even more for whatever work or ministry opportunities God may give you.

You will end up with the full Cert IV or Diploma of Christian Ministry and Theology by completing both:
  • the 6 core Christian Ministry and Theology Units
  • and the Electives

Our heart is to see you equipped to serve the Lord Jesus Christ in whatever way He guides you to do so.

Yours in Christ,
Chris Gribble

Your Choice of Electives

Leadership and Management Pathway

If you are in a supervised leadership role within your Church or workplace this may be the best elective pathway for you. The Units you complete will have a practical component that may require the involvement of whoever is responsible for you in your leadership or management role.  

Teaching English - TESOL Mission ​Pathway

If you want to be introduced to the field of Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) you can complete the first three or four Units of a Certificate IV or Diploma of TESOL as your elective Units. If you are interested in completing the entire Cert IV or Diploma of TESOL at a discounted price, you can get qualified in TESOL as well as completing your Cert IV or Diploma of Christian Ministry and Theology.

Community Services Pathway

If you are working within or can get a supervised "community services" role within an organisation delivering care or counselling or other services then this may be the best elective pathway for you. This may include, for example, a supervised role in chaplaincy. The Units you complete will have a practical component that may require the involvement of whoever is responsible for you in the role you have.

Here's how it works

  1. Enrol in one of the Christian Ministry and Theology Courses
  2. Select the Elective Pathway you want to complete (you can change you mind after enrolment, before you have started work on the electives)
  3. We will communicate with you to facilitate your enrolment into the course and your trainer will keep in contact with you to complete the course. You may be allocated a second trainer depending on your choice of electives. This is because the trainers are specialised and experienced in different fields.
