Christian Ministry - California Christian College

Christian Ministry from California Christian College is a Campus Bachelor Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The primary reason Bible Colleges exist is to prepare students for ministry in Church-related vocations ? pastor, evangelist, missionary, Christian education director, youth minister, etc. The division of Christian ministries is maintained to give students a foundation for these ministries. The education received by students in this division will prepare them to directly enter the ministry of their calling, or to pursue graduate studies. The four-year program for the student includes education in three areas: General Education, Bible and Theology, and Christian Ministry with emphasis in the particular field for which a foundation is desired. Those with a ministry calling to lead the Church must above all else master the Bible. While emphasis will be placed on both content and methods, the heavy concentration of emphasis will be on content. The purpose of this program is to give the candidate or minister a foundation for a pastoral and/or evangelistic ministry . The program goals are accomplished through requiring forty-two (42) units of Bible and Theology, twelve (12) of Christian Ministry, nine (9) units of Communication, twenty-one (21) units in an area of emphasis, and thirty-two (32) units of General Studies.
