Bachelor of Arts in Ministry Church Planting Ministry Track
Recent studies have shown that more churches are closing than opening. As churches close their doors, the gospel impact in the community is lost. We want to be a part of a movement that reverses the trend. Our Bachelor of Arts in Ministry, Church Planting Ministry track combines foundational preparation in biblical, theological, and ministry education with field experience designed specifically for those called to be church planters.
In addition to the 79 hours of core studies, the Bachelor of Arts in Ministry, Church Planting Ministry track consists of 20 hours of Ministry Studies, and 21 hours of Supervised Field Experience (SFE) in Church Planting. The Church Planting Ministry track prepares students for graduate studies if they desire to advance with Church Planting.
