Degree Concentrations 
 
The Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry allows students to include a specific concentration to their degree program. Each concentration includes specific outcomes deemed essential to that concentration. We believe every student comes to us with unique gifts, talents, and strengths that are God-given because of a specific life call. We know you desire to gain the knowledge and skills necessary to be excellent in the area of ministry where you are most passionate. The current concentrations are reflected below: 

Pastoral Ministry – offers a thorough understanding of the biblical principles of pastoral ministry, which includes the role of a pastor, pastoral theology, leadership styles, ministerial ethics, legal, business, and financial responsibilities. Competencies include a biblical foundation and practical application of pastoral theological practices, effective communication, interpersonal skills, and pastoral care, which includes; ministerial ethics, administrative practices, and an understanding of stewardship principles.

Intercultural Ministry -- offers an understanding of the global Church with a concentration on various cultures and how they relate to the Gospel. This concentration focuses on developing competencies related to intercultural and missional strategies, theological concepts related to missions, word religions & cults, and missionary development. Students will experience the mission field in their first Intercultural concentration course, be educated and trained by active missionaries, and accelerate the timeline to become a missionary. After graduation and Global Missions' approval, students will advance straight into a partnership with an established missionary.
