Designed for Passionate Ministry Leaders & Congregants

Driven by SBC’s passion for nurturing effective church leadership, the Centre for Servant Leaders is thrilled to launch the Certificate of Church Ministry (CCM) program. This program is tailored to equip you, our valued lay leaders and members, with the vital ethos and skills needed to make a meaningful impact in your church and beyond.

Our modules are led by seasoned practitioner-theologians actively involved in churches or para-church organizations or our very own faculty members of SBC. All modules are audit-only, with no academic prerequisites nor exams. Participants can choose to enrol in the full program for a certificate or choose to take individual modules according to their interests.

So who is CCM catered for? We believe they are passionate individuals regardless of any formal theological educational background, including ministry leaders, young professionals and believers who are called to any ministries and services.

Revivals in Church History

The Bible and Church history reveal that God’s people frequently go through periods of spiritual dryness and spiritual revitalization. Revivals are the sovereign work of a holy God who restores the church back to a vibrant love relationship with Jesus and creates a deep compassion for the lost and the marginalized. This course will see how God orchestrated people and movements between the 18th & 20th centuries in Europe and Asia, including Singapore.
