Christian Ministries

“Preparing the people of God for the work of God.”—A. J. Gordon
The world needs Christian leaders who can reflect theologically and contribute to a variety of ministry opportunities. Through extensive study of the Scriptures and theological reflection on faith and life, you will learn to hear God’s voice, expand your vision of God’s world, and extend compassion for those needing God’s love. Research, practicums, relationships with professors, and local and global ministry experience will prepare you to creatively join God’s redemptive movement in the world. You will focus your studies in one of four areas of ministry, and will automatically earn a minor in biblical studies.
