Ministry Programs

School of Theology and Philosophy Graduate Programs

A call to serve is a call to prepare for ministry in a variety of ways. The mission of the School of Theology and Philosophy is to:

• Guide students in defining and understanding the reality and the implications of God's call upon their lives,
• Challenge students toward a global mission and servant's heart, and
• Enable students to serve by providing practical experiences.
