Overview
The Ministry Studies program of Grace College and Seminary will prepare and equip ministry leaders with the necessary personal, professional, and theological training for your unique Christian calling within church ministry or human services. The program goals are designed to augment and support the mission of Grace College and Seminary.
The program strikes a balance between foundational theological preparation and real-life ministry training. The program is designed to add to the body of knowledge gained in Grace’s undergraduate biblical studies programs and to train those who have not pursued undergraduate training in biblical studies for positions of support and leadership in the local church. Note that graduates of the Department of Biblical Studies may gain advanced standing in Grace Theological Seminary.
