Overview
Description
The Spiritual Formation Certificate is a six-course program designed to develop a working and living knowledge of spiritual formation in your life and for those you minister. These courses will engage you in self-reflection, deepen your connection with your community, and grow your relationship with Jesus Christ. The certificate culminates in a final project directly relevant to your ministry work and spiritual formation.
Throughout the Certificate, you’ll gain knowledge and skills in spiritual formation, including its history and practices, which you can integrate into your life. As you learn more about the spiritual benefits of regular practices and focus on your formation, you will learn about spiritual formation through the Bible, historical and cultural practices, and the different rhythms spiritual formation can take. You will journey through your own experiences, the experiences of others, and new experiences that you can practice with those you lead. You will gain wisdom in ministering and fostering formation biblically, representing the love and connection of Jesus Christ.
Upon completing the six courses and final project, you will earn a professional Certificate from FULLER Equip. In addition, successful completion of this Certificate may make you eligible for credit for prior learning (CPL), which grants you credit toward an advanced degree at Fuller Seminary.

Living wholeheartedly is an invitation to allow God to heal each aspect of ourselves and to bring this healing to the world. In the course, A Wholehearted Life, you will explore what it looks like to live wholeheartedly and how to walk as light in the world.
Instructor: Laura Murray
