📚About the Program

The Certificate in Messianic Jewish Studies is offered to meet the educational needs of students who desire seminary-level training, but who are not necessarily pursuing a Master of Divinity degree. It is ideal for those who are already serving in the field of Jewish ministries as well as those who are exploring the possibility of such ministry as outreach workers, congregational leaders or support personnel. This 18-credit certificate is offered at the Charles L. Feinberg Center in New York — a hub of Jewish culture and population on the East Coast. Chosen People Ministries has partnered with Talbot School of Theology to inspire, equip and send students into the harvest on a strategic mission to reach Jewish people for the Messiah. Certificate coursework may later be applied toward a Master of Divinity degree. Show less
