Christian Leadership & Ministry Training Programs

If you follow Jesus, you can make an impact for Jesus. Since commissioning his very first disciples, Jesus continues to call leaders to advance God’s Kingdom. Leadership takes different forms. Some lead out front in the spotlight; others lead quietly and behind the scenes. Some lead professionally in the church or Christian organizations; others volunteer in Christian roles and influence their workplaces for Christ. Horizon’s leadership and ministry training programs are designed to help you shape your path to lead effectively in your Christian life and ministry.

College Programs

Horizon is Canada’s first competency-based Christian leadership college, pioneering a multi-denominational leadership and ministry training curriculum that is collaborative, practical, and effective for equipping the Christian leaders of tomorrow.

Certificate Programs

Even just one year of study at Horizon will help you serve God’s Kingdom well. Horizon will equip you with essential life skills that will help you succeed in whatever job or schooling you take after your time with us. Our Certificate programs can join further programming paths, or can serve as a stand-alone, unique experience.

Choose Your Path

Our college programs follow two paths. One path leads you to professional, credentialed ministry. The other path aims to establish your personal Christian life, preparing you to lead for Christ whatever your vocation or context. Those who have taken a one-year Certificate program can join either program path, or it can serve as a stand-alone, unique experience.

Please note: The BA and BTh program designations are for students studying through Horizon. Students studying through MCS-Horizon will receive the designations BTh or BRE.
