The major in General Ministries is designed for individuals whose ministry intention is in areas not covered by the more traditional fields of ministry preparation. It provides a more flexible degree plan through which to serve them.
The General Ministries degree allows a great degree of latitude in choosing courses that are suited to the student’s particular ministry areas of interest, past experiences, future goals, and present abilities. Despite its appearance, the General Ministries major has very specific goals; these goals are merely defined on an individual basis.
The major utilizes a section of the major for supporting ministry courses. With the approval of the advisor, this section allows commonly recognized ministry courses as well as topics chosen from other disciplines that can support ministries, such as courses in business, computer technology, drama, etc.
Each student is assigned an academic advisor who works with the student to determine the courses that best fulfill present and future ministry goals. Together, they develop a long-term plan which provides strength in chosen disciplines while also providing balance through well-rounded course selection.
