Guiding with Vision, Serving with Purpose
Whether it means pursuing a career in full-time ministry or simply being equipped to live faithfully every day, following Jesus is the key to a life of purpose in a world full of ambiguity and trivia. The Ministry & Theology Department has designed its curriculum to meet these challenges.
To that end, the Ministry & Theology Department seeks to prepare biblically grounded, theologically sound, spiritually formed, professionally competent graduates for kingdom service. Because we view education as a journey that we are on together, we place the utmost importance on giving students the opportunities to ask the hard questions and learn how to find answers. Our average class size is small (10 to 15 students) and our faculty is dedicated, both in and outside the classroom, to walking with each student on this journey.
“And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” – Matthew 28:16-20
