Christian Studies

The Bachelor of Science in Christian Studies degree, delivered 100% online, will equip students for their calling to serve God’s Kingdom. Students will gain a solid foundation as they study biblical, theological, historical and applied Christian faith-related topics. Ministry can take many forms; therefore, ministry leaders need a wide range of skills as they prepare to work with a variety of groups, needs, and situations. We believe that faith transforms lives and therefore we desire to help our students intentionally engage in the process of spiritual formation. Our program is founded on the truth that spiritual formation helps us begin to realize that who we are is as important as what we do.
