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 youth and family ministry. Students who complete 15 credit hours in youth and family ministry courses) will graduate with a Ministry Major with youth and family 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
