The Certificate in Theology and the Arts answers this essential question: How does integrating theology and the arts bring renewal to church and culture?
 

This Certificate consists of six courses plus a final project. It teaches and trains artists, ministry leaders, and art appreciators on why and how to understand and participate in God’s mission in the world based on the experiences of “head,” “heart,” and “hand” learning opportunities. 
 

You will develop a deeper understanding of God’s artistic and creative purposes for his world, reflect on your own life and calling as it relates to the arts, and examine how theories and practices shape your understanding of culture, reflecting on your own life and calling as it relates to art, culture, and theology.

This certificate has been reviewed and approved to be currently eligible for Credit for Prior Learning (CPL), able to count for up to 4 units towards a master’s degree at Fuller Seminary.
