Certificate in Spiritual Transformation
In partnership with the Transforming Center, headquartered at The Loretto Center in Wheaton, IL, Northern offers a Certificate in Spiritual Transformation.
The Transforming Center desires to see churches and Christian organizations become communities of authentic spiritual transformation– and that begins with transforming leaders. Thus we seek to strengthen the souls of pastors and leaders, equipping them to guide their churches and organizations to become spiritually transforming communities that discern and do the will of God in their settings.
In order to participate in this Certificate program, students must apply and be accepted into a Transforming Community through the Transforming Center. You will indicate that you wish to earn a Certificate in Spiritual Transformation through Northern Seminary as part of this application process. No additional application is necessary.
The Certificate in Spiritual Transformation consists of full participation in eight retreats over a two year period through the Transforming Center. Additionally, these retreats will be enhanced by carefully designed Certificate-level course work.
