Programs of Study
The mission of the church and ministry leadership program is to prepare students for work in
ministry by giving them broad insight into the nature and task of ministry, especially as it relates
to administration, leadership, youth ministry, and evangelistic ministries. The church and ministry
leadership program helps students to think more clearly about developing a philosophy of
ministry and gives them an understanding of how to implement that philosophy through a more
focused field of ministry.
Requirements for the church and ministry major include courses to satisfy the requirements of
a minor in theology. Due to program overlap, students who complete the church and ministry
leadership major must also complete a second minor program. Sociology, psychology, or
communication arts are recommended areas for the second minor.
Students who double major in church ministry leadership and theology, must complete the field
education in church ministry and leadership. Students meet the oral communication requirement
of general education by taking Communication Arts 101. The capstone requirement is met through
Senior Seminar 401. The field education requirement is met through a required internship.
