Christian Ministries Minor

Mission

The Christian Ministries minor exists to provide essential equipping in ministry fundamentals to students who desire to serve the Lord in a volunteer or part-time vocational capacity in the local church, parachurch organizations, or other specialized ministry opportunities. It provides training on learning, leadership, formation, and other specialized areas of Christian Ministry to prepare learners for impact in roles that are not full-time vocational positions or that do not require the full breadth of training provided by the Bible, Theology, and Ministry major.
