Each award documents completion of SC3 Bible Institute’s religious education and ministry-training requirements. 

The Diploma in Biblical Studies requires successful completion of seven foundational courses: Theology 101, Theology 102: Pneumatology, Theology 103: Eschatology, Old Testament Survey 104, New Testament Survey 105, Effective Ministry Development I 106, and Effective Ministry Development II 107. 

 Build on the foundational diploma with advanced study in theology, biblical interpretation, ministry development, and practical Christian service. This program is designed for students preparing for increased leadership and ministry responsibilities. 

 Complete advanced religious study in Scripture, theology, ministry leadership, and applied ministry. This program is intended for experienced students and ministry leaders seeking the highest level of study offered by SC3 Bible Institute. The Master Diploma is an advanced religious diploma and is not a master’s degree. 

 This ministry credential is for students who complete the required biblical, pastoral, and chaplaincy training. Applicants must also meet SC3 and IAOCC ministry standards, complete the application and screening process, and receive approval. The credential documents religious and ministry preparation and does not constitute government licensure.
