Degree Programs
We offer a variety of degrees that all focus on the same thing; training Christian leaders for ministry. Our degree programs are carefully designed to properly equip students for the ministry that God has for them. Each degree has an extensive foundation of Biblical studies. It is then furthered with a core of academic basics, and specific classes that match the field of studies selected by the student.
