Religion - East Texas Baptist University

Religion from East Texas Baptist University is a Campus Bachelor Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The faculty of the Department of Religion welcomes students into a community of learning, rigorous scholarship, academic freedom, ministry, and service. As a part of the historic and long-standing service to the foundation curriculum of East Texas Baptist University , the faculty seeks to lead students to a mature understanding of the Bible and the development of a Christian worldview. Through teaching, mentoring, and advising, students will be given the opportunity to gain a basic knowledge of God's word, to reflect upon its theology, and to apply it personally and professionally. Committed to equipping students who are preparing for vocational or dual-vocational ministries, the religion faculty seeks to encourage and challenge?both spiritually and academically?those students who have responded to the divine call into Christian ministry; to prepare students for additional graduate studies; and to equip students to serve as pastors, youth ministers, education ministers, missionaries, professors, and other positions of Christian leadership. Students will be given the opportunity to develop their skills in biblical interpretation, to display analytical and reflective thought, and to integrate a Christian worldview into their life and ministry. As religion majors, students will have intentional experiences focusing upon the development of identity and Christian servant leadership. Students will participate in such activities as a compilation of a personal growth portfolio, monthly faculty mentoring, monthly meetings with other majors and the religion faculty, community projects, and learning the principles of Christian servant leadership. These experiences will help provide an environment that will encourage students to mature and present an avenue through which an integration of faith, learning, and service may be expressed.
