Ministerial Missions

The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Ministerial Missions is designed for students who have a calling to have an impact on the world for Christ.

Whether its worshipping with the poor at a mission in Thailand, praying with grieving parents at a clinic in Papua New Guinea, or sharing the smile of an inner city Chicago girl as she realizes who Jesus is, a career in missions is for those willing to leave their comfort zone and cross many barriers — cultural, geographic, language — to share the Gospel on the frontlines of the Great Commission.


Degree Requirements

A cross-cultural ministry field experience is a degree requirement, providing students with the opportunity to apply what they have learned in the program in a practical setting.
