Christian Ministry

Return to: General Academic Information

Chair: Dr. Philip B. Petersen

The Christian Ministry Department exists to equip men as women as leaders to make disciples in both cross-cultural and cultural settings, and at all age levels. Christ’s Great Commission of Matthew 28:19-20 provides our mandate to make disciples of all nations. Ephesians 4:11-13 further describes the five equipping roles for building Christ’s Church worldwide.

The six majors of the Christian Ministry Department combine a strong biblical and theological foundation with applied courses to deepen the global impact of our students. With each major, students may select a minor or integrative electives in consultation with their academic advisor.
