Certificate in the Foundations of Ministry
Deepening Faith. Forming Disciples. Preparing for Ministry.
Beginning October 31st, 2026!
In partnership with the Diocese of Dallas, the Certificate in the Foundations of Ministry (CFM) offers adults an opportunity to deepen their understanding of the Catholic faith while growing in prayer, discipleship, and readiness for service. Grounded in the Catholic theological tradition and guided by the mission of the University of Dallas, the certificate combines theological study with reflection, conversation, and practical application that is offered in a condense format and will prepare students to move onward into deeper studies of the Catholic faith and tradition.
The first cohort is forming now! Don't miss your opportunity to study with Neuhoff and the Diocese of Dallas and earn a certificate within a few months. For more information, including the full schedule and outline of courses, email nime@udallas.edu or click the button below.
