The Diploma in Expository Preaching (DEP) Certified Academic Program (CAP) is a one-year residential program consisting of three trimesters of intense study taught at the undergraduate-level. Each trimester consists of three 10-week courses. This program is structured as a stacked program that is built on the foundation provided by the Biblical Studies Certificate (BSC) program.
Purpose: The primary purpose of the DEP CAP is to develop the student’s ability to accurately analyze and interpret the New and Old Testament from the Malagasy language of the biblical text, and to strengthen their ability to effectively prepare and preach expository-based messages. At the same time, the DEP program aims to bolster the student’s convictions on core doctrines of the Christian faith and provide training in counseling others from the Bible.
Target: Men who are aspiring to or actively involved in pastoral leadership roles in local church ministries, whether ordained pastors, church planters, Sunday school teachers, missionaries, or Bible study leaders.
