MINISTRY
The Department of Ministry exists to equip students in:
Scripture
Students will be equipped in the study of the Bible and in solid biblical doctrine. The Scriptures provide our foundation of study and students' preparation for ministry.
Servanthood
A minister is a servant. Students will be equipped as servants of the Lord. Greatness is achieved as we master the concept of being last.
Service
Students will be trained in their calling, giftings, and service to the Lord. Each believer is wired specifically by the Lord, and we will help to fulfill that God-given purpose.
Our Department of Ministry has many cutting-edge ministry training programs and fields of study to help equip followers of Jesus Christ for the work of the ministry. Most of us think of ministry as the work done by pastors, missionaries, Christian conference speakers, or evangelists. We rarely think of work done by bankers, lawyers, engineers, or homemakers as the work of the ministry. We believe all arenas of work are to be viewed as our act of worship to the Lord and our mission field.
O​ur programs of study are all centered around advancing God’s Kingdom in your sphere of influence. We are prepared to equip you to be culturally relevant without becoming culturally compromised and to influence the world for the Kingdom of God.
