Announcing a New Partnership for Apologetics Training
NationsUniversity is excited to announce a new partnership with 4C Ministry Institute (www.4cministry.org) to offer students the opportunity to study apologetics. 4C Ministry Institute offers a Certificate in Apologetics that can now be applied to NationsUniversity’s Bachelor of Religious Studies degree. Upon successful completion of the Certificate in Apologetics, all five courses can be applied to a B.R.S. student’s general or religious electives and, in some cases, some may be applied to general education requirements.
Our Partnership
For many years, NationsU students have requested courses in Apologetics, but, while we have qualified faculty, we did not have the resources. Because 4C Ministry Institute is a non-profit ministry focused on ministry training, they have the faculty and resources to provide this much needed area of study. Best of all, 4C Ministry Institute is able to offer the entire Certificate of Apologetics for no tuition and no fees. This shared philosophy of education between NationsU and 4C makes this partnership perfect.
4C Ministry Institute is an unaccredited educational ministry and not a school in the traditional sense. However, the Institute boasts a faculty of extraordinarily qualified professors, thought-provoking curriculum, and rigorous assessments of learning. Students completing the Institute’s program in Apologetics will receive training in defending biblical doctrines, applying philosophical and scientific argumentation, and understanding the nuances of culture and language in explaining the Bible.
Current and Former Students
If you are a current undergraduate student, write to your advisor to determine if these courses will fit into your remaining B.R.S. requirements.
If you are a former undergraduate student or a graduate student at NationsU, you cannot receive credit for the courses at NationsU, but you can still take advantage of the excellent (and free) training offered by 4C Ministry institute. And of course, if you know anyone who would like to learn more about apologetics, have them contact 4C Ministry Institute at www.4cministry.org or go to https://4cmi.churchcenter.com/people/forms/264156 to apply directly with 4C Ministry Institute for the Certificate.
NationsU is excited to continue expanding our apologetics resources. By adding these courses to the already excellent works of John Clayton’s “Does God Exist?” (nationsu.edu/christian-apologetics), NationsU strengthens its commitment to “building authentic faith and training Christian leaders around the world.”
