ULA is known for rigorous academic training. But we never view academic study as an intellectual exercise for its own sake.
The heart of any great program is its faculty, and at ULA you’ll be immersed in robust theological inquiry with one of the world’s strongest faculties.
Check out some of our past participates that have taken the time to advance their studies in bible knowledge.
For many years, we have seen the need to offer an invigorating and academically challenging certificate program to lay leaders and ministers of the local urban church. There are issues that urban church leaders face that are seldom addressed in theological education. The Urban Leadership Academy seeks to bring these issues to the classroom, offering models of ministry that are working and forging partnerships that will sustain urban ministry in the 21st century.
The Urban Leadership Academy offers a two- or three-year curriculum in Bible, Theology, Church History, and Church Leadership, specifically designed to address the challenges of the local urban church and equip those called to ministry. Whether you’re a current church leader or exploring ordination, this program prepares you for greater service and awards a certificate upon successful completion.
