The Certificate of Progress has as an objective personal spiritual growth and Bible knowledge. Students may fulfill course requirements for the Certificate of Progress by choosing 24 quarter hours of courses of any combination from within the Bible, Theology/History, and Practical Theology/Ministry Divisions. Since the Certificate of Progress is an indicator of the amount of work the student has completed at CHBC, no transfer units apply toward the 24 quarter hours, although transfer units can be applied toward the Ministerial Arts Diploma and the Associate of Ministry Degree. It can be achieved by taking two classes each quarter for four quarters.
