About United Christian College
In response to the growing needs of the denomination and the Presiding Prelate’s vision for revitalizing ministries to all Christian leaders: a new program called the Leadership Training Program (LTP) has been developed. The LTP will expand the current curriculum offered through the Southern District’s MTP and include a general course track for any leader in the church in addition to a specialized track for clergy leadership.
Program Purpose
The purpose of the United Christian College Leadership Training Program is to offer a 36 hour (one year) virtual platform for learning that guides students to an understanding of the basic doctrines of the Christian faith and a conviction of their validity in the life of modern men and women. Designed for substantive and critical study, collaborative learning, and active engagement in ministry, the program builds upon (Ephesians 4:12) to equip the saints for the work of ministry and build up the body of Christ.

Curriculum Design Philosophy

Second Semester
Third Semester
Fourth Semester
Introduces basic denominational studies including United Holy Church history, doctrine and Polity.
Focuses on content, that prepares students to navigate the landscape of the biblical text, providing a foundation for study, growth, and discipleship.
Students have an opportunity to take courses specifically designed to resource them for their varied roles in the life of the church and to equip them with tools that strengthen their ministries.
Having been prepared with sound denominational, biblical, and practical perspectives for ministry, courses in the fourth semester empower students for ministry in action! Whether church-based or community focused, these courses inspire leaders to use the knowledge they have gained to make substantive and impactful ministry change.
