Christian Ministry

NNU's Bachelor of Arts in Christian Ministry is a multidisciplinary degree preparing students to go directly into ministry after graduation by providing a solid theological foundation, ministry and leadership skills, a deeper understanding of biblical interpretation, and a Christian worldview. Students may focus on a specific area of ministry by adding a minor in Bible, children's ministry, family ministry, missions, theology, worship leadership, or youth ministry. This major fulfills the educational requirements for ordination as an elder in the Church of the Nazarene.
