A broadly‑framed undergraduate degree focused on Christian ministry roles and vocational service. Best for students seeking practical ministry skills, musical worship formation, mission support roles, or work with children, youth and families within church contexts.

What you'll study

Core and example coursework combines biblical study, ministry practice and formation. Sample course titles cited by the program include:

  • Introduction to Biblical Interpretation

The four tracks focus study differently: the youth and family track centers on ministry to adolescents and families in church settings; worship ministry—developed with the Department of Music—examines music’s role in spiritual formation and historical practices of worship; vocational missions emphasizes sustaining secular employment while participating on mission teams; and children and family ministry includes coursework in child education and psychology.
