Bible and Ministry Distinctives

Student Experience in Biblical Studies and Christian Ministries:

• All faculty affirm a high view of Scripture, recognizing the truth and authority of God’s Word.
• All the full-time Biblical Studies and Christian Ministries faculty have a Ph.D. in their fields and have ministry experience, so all the courses integrate practical application with rigorous academics.
• All the full-time Biblical Studies and Christian Ministries faculty have ministered in international contexts (e.g. Cuba, Chile, Costa Rica, Russia, Nigeria, Kenya, Scotland, and the Czech Republic).
• All of the full-time Biblical Studies and Christian Ministries faculty have contributed to their fields through publications and conference papers.
• The Biblical Studies and Christian Ministries faculty are some of the best teachers on campus.  In fact, in 2005 Dr. Andy Woodring received the Selby Teaching award, which is awarded to the best teacher of the year.
• Each year faculty lead the Physical Settings of the Bible course overseas to the Middle East.  These classes have gone to Israel, Egypt, Jordan, Turkey, Italy, and Greece.
• All Christian Ministries majors are engaged in supervised internships.
