Bachelor of Arts in Church Planting Ministry: 120 Hours
Recent studies have shown that more churches are closing than opening. As churches close their doors, the gospel impact in the community is lost. We want to be a part of a movement that reverses the trend. Our Bachelor of Arts in Church Planting Ministry combines foundational preparation in biblical, theological, and ministry education with field experience designed specifically for those called to be church planters.
In addition to the 80 hours of core studies, the Bachelor of Arts in Church Planting Ministry consists of 20 hours of Ministry Studies, and 20 hours of Supervised Field Experience (SFE) in Church Planting. The BA in Church Planting Ministry degree prepares students for graduate studies if they desire to advance with Church Planting. BA - Ministry (Church Planting) Advising Sheet
