Bachelor of Ministry

An Undergraduate Degree with 24 subjects
The Bachelor of Ministry thoroughly prepares men and women for significant vocations in ministry. Providing both comprehensive ministry skill training, a broad and deep knowledge of Scripture, as well as exposure to a breadth of Christian doctrines, students are encouraged to think critically and thoroughly explore issues.

Degree students delve into systematic Christian studies as well as diversified reading, procedurally focusing on varying areas of ministry. Students learn to use sound principles of biblical interpretation and to apply biblical
principles to specific areas of ministry (e.g. pastoral care, preaching, teaching and leadership), and gain practical experience through a field education placement.
