Student Ministry (B.S.)

Students are educated and equipped to become healthy, biblically sound, and influential leaders in the student ministry of the local church. Through their coursework and training, students develop a Biblical worldview, develop strategic vision, and explore innovative ministry practices—like student conferences, monthly services, and weekly groups events—to equip the next generation to be connected relationally and spiritually strong.
