Students who are seeking a more challenging ministry and leadership training experience and who are willing to invest increased time and effort should consider the Ministerial Studies with Leadership Honors Diploma. This program offers the opportunity for enhanced spiritual growth both as an individual and as an effective leader in the church. This program emphasizes the valuable influence of experienced ministry mentoring, personal discipleship and development, evangelism, and the fruitfulness of discipling others. Students who enroll in this diploma program must accept the responsibility to find a qualified mentor, invest time in a mentor relationship, and complete additional requirements related to personal development and ministry.

Students must complete the following requirements in addition to completing the ministerial studies courses listed below:

• Fifteen hours of mentor meetings (including via electronic means) while completing each program level (Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3). Students who complete the entire Leadership Honors program will have completed a minimum of forty-five mentoring hours.
• A capstone project for each of the three program levels. Additional information is available in the Capstone Project Instructions packet.
• Service Learning Requirements (SLRs) will be completed under the supervision of a mentor.

Students who successfully complete all Leadership Honors requirements for Level One will be credited with the course, Intermediate Ministerial Internship. Students who successfully complete all Leadership Honors requirements for Level Two will be credited with the course, Advanced Ministerial Internship. This means that the only internship course students are required to enroll in and pay fees for is the Beginning Ministerial Internship in Level One. See more information below under General Instructions.

Students who successfully complete all of the following courses and projects will be awarded the Ministerial Studies with Leadership Honors Diploma.
