Our mission at Central Christian College is to provide Christ-Centered Education for Character. The Code of Character articulates the core values that allow the school to pursue its stated mission and works as an acknowledgment from the student to share the values of Central Christian College while attending.

The applied ministry major is designed for those planning on engaging in tent-making ministries such as church planting or bi-vocational ministry, or for those who are planning to enter para-church ministries like Christian camping, working in media, running a homeless shelter or fighting human trafficking. The program equips students with a strong foundation in theology, ministry skills, and biblical studies. Beyond that, students are encouraged to choose electives which will address their specific calling and meet their personal ministry-related goals.

The Pastoral Ministry major has been crafted to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to lead in a church ministry setting. Along with a firm biblical and theological base, emphasis is placed on practical skills for ministry. There is training in biblical exegesis, preaching, leadership, and pastoral care. In addition, a student will enjoy on-the-job training through a four-semester, supervised internship in a local ministry.

Students seeking to develop the necessary skills to become effective ministers to youth and/or children, will find the comprehensive and practical depth of the Student Ministry major outstanding. Attention is given to providing students with an understanding of the development of the child/adolescent, as well as biblical, theological and theoretical foundation needed to develop and maintain an effective ministry to students. The major offers a balance between coursework and hands-on training.

The objective of the Worship Arts major is to prepare students to be dynamic leaders of worship as a vocational ministry. Students gain a solid foundation in biblical theology as well as experience with all aspects of worship –technology, planning, and leadership. Besides the core worship arts courses, students declare an area of emphasis in music, drama, or art. An internship gives ample opportunity for putting classroom skills to practical use.
