4Twelve Academy
Inspired by Eph 4:12, 4Twelve Academy is a new initiative of East Asia School of Theology that desires to serve the church by providing ongoing training for its laypeople through microcredentialing.
“We seek to build biblically grounded, culturally relevant leaders for the church in Asia through accessible, high impact micro-credential training.” Mark Surendhan, 4Twelve Academy Director
A micro-credential course (one that offers as little as 0.5 credits) allows students to learn at much more manageable and customizable pace, unlike the time commitments required by a typical 3 credit course. Participants are required to set aside a smaller amount of time and energy while not compromising on learning standards and outcomes. The credits from a micro-credential course are stackable – toward the fulfillment of a 2-3 credit course and even toward the completion of an entire program.
These are the types of micro-credential courses that will be made available at different times of the year!
- Leadership & Management
- Bible Exposition
- Christian Education
- Christian Discipleship
- Coaching/Mentoring
- Mission & Evangelism
- Cross-cultural Engagement and Communication
