The North American Reformed Seminary (TNARS.net) and Peasant Saints have teamed up to offer a FREE Evangelism Certificate! For those of you who want to take it further, The North American Reformed Seminary will award you with an Associates of Arts in Evangelism (AAE) with just a little more work!  The Certificate and AAE programs are designed to take you far beyond method training and the basics.  Our hope is that those of you who finish these courses will be prepared to articulate the gospel with profound depth, and end up with an ability to identify error and address it confidently due to your theological underpinnings of the gospel.  If you are searching for an advanced course covering the theology of evangelism and proper communication of the gospel, search no further.

The academic standards for TNARS are posted HERE.

To register for Certificate or AAE programs please send an email to byron@peasantsaints.com with "Evangelism Education" in the title. 

Below you will find the course work for the Evangelism Certificate followed by the remaining course work to complete the Associates of Arts in Evangelism.
