ministry
The Ministry Program is a four-year Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science program that includes a Biblical Studies major and a Ministry major. The Ministry program is a unique opportunity for a student to build their own degree program. Mid-Atlantic recognizes that one size does not fit all. Therefore, we are excited to offer a program that allows students to pick and choose from a variety of courses related to formal Christian vocational service, either in the United States or abroad. Students will take a core of courses, including a significant internship experience, and then fill out the program with electives ranging from preaching, youth ministry, worship, and cross-cultural ministry.
Some students may choose to concentrate their elective course choices to the area of preaching. Students who complete 12 credit hours in preaching courses will graduate with a Ministry Major with preaching concentration degree.
Some students may choose to concentration their elective course choice to the area of cross-cultural ministry. Students who complete 15 credit hours in cross-cultural ministry (and take 6 credit hours of pre-selected general studies courses) will graduate with a Ministry Major with cross-cultural ministry concentration degree.
Students successfully completing the Ministry major will:
reflect upon their personal walk with God and gifts for ministry
develop skills necessary for effective communication of God's Word
demonstrate knowledge of effective Christian leadership
apply ministry skills necessary to fulfill their calling
value the role of career Christian ministry and grasp their individual contribution to this work
