Degree Programs
One Degree, Three Concentrations
B.A. in Christian Leadership
The Bachelor of Arts in Christian Leadership is designed to prepare and equip students to assume a leadership position in church, para-church, missions, or market-place contexts. This will be accomplished through a hands-on field ministry curriculum, as well as a rigorous classroom environment. Students will study the biblical and theological principles needed to build a strong Christian leadership foundation, and will learn the practical aspects of applying these principles to their personal and ministerial lives.
