CKI's three-year certificate programs provide an opportunity for lay people and leaders to receive sound doctrinal instruction in the fundamental areas that encompass the role of Christians in today's society. In a REAL, RELEVANT, and RIGHTEOUS approach, our emphases span:

- Personal spiritual development and insight,
- Organizational health through the creation of spiritually functional environments,
- Focused inquiry of the framework, methodology and impartment of God's Word,
- Instructional modalities that will enable you to become an effective agent of healing, assisting fellow Christians in the development of more fruitful lives, relationships and marriages.

Systematic Theology II
This is part two of a four part series. The course continues to facilitate a comprehensive overview of the main theological themes of the Bible by offering a systematic approach to developing an understanding of Biblical doctrine.  It systematizes the major themes of the Christian faith and become aware of the major historical doctrines of the Christian faith.

Old Testament Survey
Students will survey the 39 books of the Old Testament and learn about the major ideas, structure, and authors. Special attention will be given to the outstanding persons, significant places, events, and the types and shadows of the coming of Christ.

Kingdom of God Leadership
We have entered into another dispensation of theological awareness, which is the Kingdom of God. While Christ preached the message of the Kingdom of God, the contemporary church knows very little practically about the Kingdom. This area specializes in assisting leaders in understanding the Kingdom of God as prophesied in the Old Testament, proclaimed and explained in the Gospels, perpetuated in the New Testament church, and fully realized in the eschaton. The program will prepare leaders to fully understand, teach, and operate in this dispensation of the Kingdom of God and the apostolic.


Elders
The Board of Elders is charged with assisting the Pastor in the implementation of policy and in the spiritual oversight of the church. In the New Testament elders must possess the ability to teach and preach the word, protect the church from false teachers, pray and judge doctrinal issues.


Ministers

This ordination program is designed to ensure that Ministers are adequately equipped for the 21st century pulpit. It endeavors to prepare church leaders to equip the saints for the work of ministry by providing both practical and theological training.

Deacons
The mission of Deacons is to maintain the responsibility of works of service so that the leaders of the church can devote themselves to prayer and the ministry of the Word. CKI courses will prepare potential deacons for their Kingdom role.
