2024-2026 Sisterhood Women’s Cohort Course Schedule (Now in progress)
*Tentative dates
Since this initiative aims to equip women with knowledge and practices that will enhance their ministries, Bible and Theology courses will take priority in the cohort. The six cohort courses will lead to a certificate in Biblical and Theological studies (6 courses), and the credit for these courses can be used toward any of the Master of Arts degree at Horizon (MA Biblical and Theological Studies; MA Ministry Leadership; MA Clinical Pastoral Counselling).
More Great Reasons to Apply
Completing 6 courses with the Women’s Cohort translates into a Graduate Certificate in Bible and Theology from Horizon Seminary.
Credit for Women’s Cohort courses can be used toward any of the Master of Arts degrees at Horizon (MA Biblical and Theological Studies; MA Ministry Leadership; MA Clinical Pastoral Counselling) or the Master of Divinity degree program.
Women’s Cohort courses may transfer to degree programs at Providence or Briercrest Seminary.
