Certificate Programs.
Focused theological training for believers ready to serve. Each certificate is five courses — affordable, accessible, and immediately applicable to your ministry context.
Ministry Preparation & Professional Requirements.
Logos University offers ministry-focused counseling education for church, ministry, and nonprofit settings. Logos does not offer licensure-track counseling programs. The Master of Arts in Christian Counseling does not meet educational requirements for state-licensed clinical practice or qualify graduates for any state mental-health licensure examination. Students are responsible for understanding the requirements for faith-based counseling in their own state or country; a degree does not establish clergy eligibility.

Certificate programs at Logos University are designed for believers who are ready to grow — whether you are new to ministry or looking to deepen what you already know. Each program is completed through five focused courses built around Scripture, practical application, and Spirit-led formation.
The light course load allows you to study without stepping away from your church, your family, or your calling. Credits earned in a certificate program can also be applied toward any Logos undergraduate degree — so your investment grows with you.
