Bible and Christian Ministry - California Christian College

Bible and Christian Ministry from California Christian College is a Campus Associate Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. This two-year program includes courses from the divisions of General Education, Bible , Theology, and Christian Ministry. This program is maintained because of several reasons. First, there are students who desire some study within a Biblical framework but do not plan to pursue a Bachelor's degree specifically in Bible or Theology. Secondly, some students sense no call for full-time Christian ministry and do not desire a four year-year degree, yet do wish to attend Bible college for their own personal spiritual development and growth in Biblical knowledge. The Associate of Arts degree will provide solid training in Biblical studies and general education. The courses in this program will also provide the non-ministerial student with a good foundation for general, lay ministry in a local church. The program goals are accomplished through requiring 16 units of general education, 12 units of Bible and Theology, six units of Christian ministry, nine units of communication and 21 units of emphasis concentration. (Note: anyone participating in conference athletics must have a minimum 25% of his/her degree in Bible or Bible-related courses.)
