Bachelor of Arts in Divinity

Solid biblical training from accomplished faculty with years of ministry experience.

The B.A. Divinity degree is suited to the student who desires extensive training for the purpose of leadership in the local church.

In addition to the 121 credit hours of academic studies, students are required to fulfill the Leadership in Action requirement.

• Equip the student with the tools to communicate clearly and effectively.
• Bring about the student’s increased understanding of the world in which one lives, including history and philosophy.
• Give the student a sense of preparedness by providing practical ministry experience.
