AA Bible & Christian Ministry California Christian College

This two-year degree includes courses in general education, Bible, theology, and Christian ministry. Several interrelated purposes underlie the rationale for this program. First, some students desire to study the Bible and theology beyond the level normally available in the local church but do not plan to pursue a Bachelor’s degree specifically in those disciplines. Secondly, some students do not sense a call into full-time Christian ministry and do not desire a four-year degree, but they choose to attend Bible college for their own personal spiritual development and growth in Biblical knowledge. Thirdly, some Christians seek advanced training to serve more effectively inlay positions within their local church. The Associate of Arts degree in Bible and Christian Ministry strives to meet these needs.

The Associate of Arts degree provides training in both 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 by requiring 28 units of general education, 21 core units in Bible and Theology, and 15 units to allow the student to focus on a preferred area of emphasis.
