Biblical & Spiritual Basics
A one-year foundation in God’s Word, Christian doctrine, and spiritual life.
Every follower of Christ needs a solid biblical foundation. The Biblical & Spiritual Basics programme is a one-year microdegree designed to give young believers, new church members, and aspiring ministry workers a deep, structured grounding in Scripture, Christian doctrine, and spiritual formation.
This is Year 1 of UDG’s Preaching Programme — offered as a standalone certificate for those who want to begin their theological journey without committing to the full two-year diploma. Upon completion, students may seamlessly continue into Year 2 and earn the full Diploma in Preaching Ministry.
Who is this program for?
This program is ideal for:
Young people who want a solid biblical and theological foundation.
New believers seeking structured, academically grounded discipleship.
Church members exploring a calling to ministry.
