In partnership with Asian Theological Seminary, the Certificate in Transformational Urban Leadership (C-TUL) is designed to give urban leaders the opportunity to complete a certificate programme that will enable them to make a difference in low-income communities.
With an emphasis on equipping for transformation, the programme combines community development-related skills centred around Biblical transformation. Students are exposed to the necessary theory components and will also be tested on those theories in an urban ministry context.
C-TUL will be offered to churches and NGOs alike for the benefit of their workers who are already in the ministry and have limitations in acquiring formal seminary education degrees. This certificate programme comprises 10 modules (6 Core Modules, 4 Focus Electives Modules).
Each module runs for 16 hours and can be split into four 4-hour sessions or two 8-hour sessions. As this is a hands-on programme, lectures are kept to a minimum in favour of workshop activities.
Core Modules:
- Rightly Handling the Word
- Transformational Discipleship
- Sustainable Spirituality
- Poverty, Justice, and the Bible
- Community Economics
- Community Transformation
Focus Electives:
- Community professionals (counsellors, therapists, social workers, support workers, medical professionals) who work with adults with a difficult childhood
- Educators and youth workers who wish to learn more about mitigating the impact of childhood trauma
- Individuals with a personal or professional interest in trauma-informed care
- Anyone interested in understanding the intersection of childhood trauma and adult mental health for personal or professional development
