Certification Program
The Certificate Program is a customized, immersive, one-year internship experience designed to equip students for ministry. The goal of this program is for the student to experience ministry event planning, staff meetings, Sunday gatherings, groups, exclusive classes, and more. Students will be brought “behind the curtain” of the day-to-day inner workings of HighPointe Church and will graduate with a certificate of ministry training as well as a portfolio of completed projects.
