The intersection between trauma and theology has become an increasingly significant area of study and professional preparation. Many ministers and other professionals find themselves supporting individuals of faith who have experienced traumatic events and seek guidance on their faith journey. The Trauma & Theology Certificate program has been designed to engage and empower spiritual caregivers and ministers as they seek to support others on their spiritual journey.
The program coursework involves an interdisciplinary approach, requiring students to not only take practical ministry courses but also biblical and theological studies courses to provide a solid foundation for the work they do. Throughout your studies, you will gain tools and insights that will enhance your ministry work, whether as a minister, a lay leader, or someone of faith who seeks to help those who have suffered trauma in their life.
