Interdisciplinary Ministry Degree
Customized Preparation for Broad Opportunities to Serve
Are you gifted in music but also love youth ministry? Do you enjoy camping ministry yet find yourself burdened for missions? Perhaps the Lord has placed on your life a unique calling; now you need the best specialized training to hone that passion.
Earning an accredited bachelor's degree with a double major in Bible / Theology and Interdisciplinary ministry will equip you in two ways. It will provide a robust Bible and theology core and give you flexibility to take ministry-specific courses. Together, these components will effectively prepare you for a lifetime of serving God with your talents.

Our Faculty
Dr. Joel Pinter - Interdisciplinary Chair
I am excited about the Bible / Theology core curriculum in the Interdisciplinary Major. This ministry major also provides flexibility for students, enabling them to design a program to fit their particular interests, talents, or calling.
The Interdisciplinary Major contains components of Bible/Theology, General Education, and Ministry specialization that have characterized the Bible College Movement which has provided effective pastors and missionaries who have carried forth the Great Commission through evangelism and church planting in our country and around the world.
