Spiritual Foundation
The Christian Ministries major prepares you to lead others in ministry and church settings through theology, study of scripture and ministry engagement with professors who are both experienced practitioners and leading thinkers in the field. The Ministry program provides scriptural, educational, and spiritual formation training for students who want to pursue ministry careers or further study in graduate schools or seminaries. Taylor’s Christian Ministries professors help you prepare for your future, not just in academic and career pursuits, but also through your faith.
Spiritual Service
Ministry courses provide students with a three-dimensional understanding of Christian ministries, honing in on spiritual formation, cross-cultural and local service, and experiential learning. Classes on teaching and learning strategies will help you communicate God's truth with specific groups as well developing strategies for ministry to a variety of needs, ages, and contexts. Other courses focus on studying, interpreting, and applying Scripture and mobilizing, training, and equipping fellow believers to serve the Church. Because of the complementary Bible classes in this major, Christian Ministries students also earn a Biblical Literature minor.
The Christian Ministries curriculum gives students the opportunity to serve in four semesters of departmentally approved ministry, and in a summer of full-time ministry. As well, they get to take a capstone trip that introduces them to more than one hundred key Christian leaders and ministries.
