This is a liberal arts program that emphasizes biblical, theological, historical, and social science foundations integrated with traditional and contemporary philosophies and practices of ministry and spiritual formation. Students are encouraged to mature in their personal walk with Christ and to develop patterns of deep personal integrity and reflection upon their experiences to prepare them for ministry. The department motto centers the educational adventure around the Bible and a call to Christian witness: “Get wisdom; give thanks.” A ministry practicum is required.
