Faith and Health Graduate Certificate Programs

Are you interested in

• Caring for the aging and elderly?
• Rooting that care in a deeper understanding of theology?
• Learning more about ministry not just to seniors, but with and by seniors?

One of these distributed learning programs focused on Parish Nursing or Aging and Health may be for you! These programs encourage the development of leadership skills through both course work and contextual leadership, including the option of Clinical Pastoral Education.

Graduate Certificate in Parish Nursing

This program is designed for those in the health ministries to deepen their theological integration of faith and health. This program is for licensed, registered nurses who have completed the Parish Nurse Preparation course, lay health ministers and pastoral caregivers in medical systems.

Graduate Certificate in Aging and Health

This program is designed to strengthen both theological roots and pastoral understandings of life span issues as they relate to the church's aging ministries. We have planned our program for Christian leaders who have been called to ministry with older adults, including those serving in congregations and nonprofit organizations.
