AA in Ministry Nazarene Bible College

The Associate of Arts in Ministry (A.A. Min.) degree is designed for persons who wish to gain ministry skills and knowledge to serve as lay workers in churches or Christian organizations. The degree is based on a strong general studies component and introductory studies in Bible, theology, and ministry principles. While not providing all the competencies for completion of ordination education requirements in the Church of the Nazarene, the program gives foundational knowledge and skills for lay contribution to the church's work either as volunteers or as paid staff members. Persons who desire to complete ordination requirements may do so by taking approximately eleven additional courses.
