Blending practical application and first-hand experiences with biblical knowledge and academic theory, the faculty of the School of Theology & Ministry provide an exceptionally well-rounded educational foundation for students who feel called to enter the field of theology or ministry and share in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ. In each of our disciplines, students will meet expert, caring professional educators who use their own specialized experiences and ministry contacts to enhance their teaching in the classroom and when mentoring students toward their respective callings.
