Church Administration Course Series

In this self-paced non-credit online course series offered by the Duke Divinity School, you’ll learn how to engage the work of leading management theorists and business leaders on strategic management, finance, HR, and other foundational topics while—crucially—maintaining a theological focus that situates these practices within the church’s mission of discipleship, worship, and witness. You’ll also develop practical skills, including how to steward your time more effectively, cultivate a clear sense of vision and mission, conduct performance reviews, and implement sound finance practices. The series is comprised of four non-credit online asynchronous courses:

• Theology and Time Management
• Strategic Management for Churches
• Human Resources Stewardship for Churches
• Financial Management for Churches

Together, these courses will require about 40-45 hours of engagement; you will have 6 months to complete all four courses from the course access date. Upon successful completion of all four courses, you will earn a Certificate of Completion.
