CHURCH MINISTRY MAJOR
Purpose and Objectives
The Church Ministry major provides students with specialized knowledge and skills to serve effectively as staff members in
a local church.
In addition to the mission statement, general objectives, and requirements of the bachelor’s degree, the objectives of the
Church Ministry program are to enable students to:
•
Demonstrate skill in communicating the Bible in both formal and informal settings.
•
Demonstrate proficiency in planning and administration of local church programs.
•
Demonstrate a capacity to lead people by addressing their personal, spiritual needs and equipping them for
ministry.
Because they complete twelve hours of Bible and Theology as part of the Church Ministry major, students also earn a Bible
major.
See Appendix A for graduation requirements.
