The Christian Ministries Department prepares students to minister in a variety of positions in North America or overseas and/or for seminary and other graduate education.

The strength of the Christian Ministries Department is preparing leaders to carry out Christian ministry from a biblical worldview to a multicultural world. This process is rooted in the foundational concept that God displays himself in and through individuals of different cultural and ethnic backgrounds at all levels of physical, social, emotional, intellectual, moral, and spiritual growth.

The goal of the department is to help individuals to (1) understand God and self, (2) understand people in community, and (3) understand, design and implement Christian ministry.

The department offers the following seven majors: Adult and Family Ministry, Children and Family Ministry, Intercultural Studies, Ministry, Pastoral Ministry, Urban Studies, and Youth and Family Studies.
