Certificate Information

Deepen Your Understanding of the New Testament

Studying Greek gives you a more accurate and enriched grasp of the biblical text. This certificate is designed to help you work directly with the language in which the New Testament was written. You can learn how to analyze grammatical structures, interpret meanings, and engage in more precise exegesis. This foundation can be especially meaningful if you’re pursuing ministry, theology, or biblical scholarship.

Flexible Pathway for Graduate Study

This certificate offers you a convenient way to explore advanced biblical language studies without committing to a full-length master’s degree. If you decide to pursue a full graduate program later, this certificate could potentially count toward your degree requirements. That flexibility allows you to build momentum in your theological education one step at a time. Whether you’re testing the waters or supplementing your current ministry training, this program can fit your goals.

The program is rooted in Liberty’s mission to develop biblically grounded leaders, and that mission shapes how the material is taught.
