課程介紹
（實體學習或跨域同步學習或全網上學習）
基督教研究文憑課程（30 學分）的目標是裝備弟兄姊妹們加深他們對聖經的理解、幫助他們靈命成長、擴展他們的事奉技能。該課程的畢業生在獲得註冊處批准後，可以將所有為 B-或以上成績的學科轉入本校的碩士課程。基督教研究文憑課程一般可以一年全日制完成。
基督教研究文憑課程（跨域同步學習）是根植於學生原居地的信仰群體和他們所生活和服侍的社區的處境中。跨域網上同步學習方式，使學生能更靈活地在工作之餘同時學習，或在事奉中希望進修者，或居住於加拿大其他地區並世界各地的學生而未能定居溫哥華以實體方式上課的學生而設。修讀基督教研究文憑課程的學生必須是恆常參加教會聚會及事奉的弟兄姊妹。
