Educational Ministries - Multnomah University

Educational Ministries from Multnomah University is a Campus Bachelor Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. The mission of the Educational Ministries major is to equip students to provide skillful leadership for the educational challenges of contemporary society. Using some of the best concepts from the fields of education, psychology, and leadership, this program will cause you to think deeply and theologically about ministry that transforms. At Multnomah, you will major in Bible and theology and will learn about the first part of the Great Commandment found in Matthew 22-how to love the Lord with all your heart, soul, and mind. A second major of Educational Ministries will teach you about the second part of the Great Commandment ? how to lovingly understand, develop, and lead people. The Educational Ministries degree equips you to love people well in three ways: 1. Understanding People People are the apex of God\\\'s creation ? objects of His affection and agents of His purposes. We believe every effective minister should seek to deeply understand and love people, to explore how they grow and develop, and to perceive what makes them who they are (1 Timothy 1:5). 2. Designing Ministry Leaders are needed to develop and refine strategies that reach and nurture people into an abiding walk with Christ (Colossians 1:28-29). We believe the next generation of ministers will need to think more creatively and incisively than ever before about how to provide effective ministry to this complex and rapidly changing world. 3. Developing Leaders The task of an effective minister is one of equipping ? to prepare the people of God for the work of the ministry (Ephesians 4:11). Raising disciples who will go themselves and make disciples lies at the heart of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:18-20). We believe in the strategic importance of multiplying leaders.
