Why LEMA?
The purpose of the LEMA Institute is to train current and future ministry leaders in Africa. This training will be provided through a combination of online and face to face teaching.
Students can take individual courses for personal growth or choose to work toward a Certificate in Christian Leadership (CCL) through online training or intensive seminars offered in person.
Once a student has earned a CCL, he or she may continue studies to earn a Diploma in Christian Leadership.
An Advanced Certificate course in Trauma Counseling will also be available for those who successfully complete our Foundations of Counseling course.
Select courses required for a Diploma in Christian Leadership and for Advanced Trauma Counseling Certification will not be able available online.
