The program
The bridge between your Bible institute and a ministry degree
The Bachelor in Christian Ministry exists to close a concrete gap. Thousands of urban leaders completed their training at a Bible institute and were left without a path toward a formal degree. This program transfers those seventy-eight prior units and complements them with forty-eight units of rigorous academic work.
The design is cohort based. Twenty to thirty students move together through six intensive modules across nine months. Classes are held on the first and third Saturday of each month, with week-long intensive sessions on the calendar.
Each student writes and defends an original research thesis on a ministry topic of their choosing. The defense is scheduled during Module VI and attendance is mandatory.
