About the program:
Do you want to build up your ministry skills so you can be a witness for Christ in the world? Are you ready to learn more about the transforming power of our God? The BTh integrates a well-developed foundation in Christian Studies with a broad and coherent theoretical and practical knowledge in theology and biblical studies. While ministry takes many forms, pastors and ministry leaders often find that they need a wide range of skills that do not come easily from personal study. Through this degree, you can foster a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of theology, and the Church. Each area of study in our religion degree is designed to help you delve deeper into the Word of God. This includes exploration of the Christian tradition as well as progressive interpretations.
This program will teach you and engage you in the study of the primary texts of the Christian faith (Old and New Testaments) with reflection on how those texts have been interpreted both historically and in contemporary readings. This degree in theology can also prove beneficial for those who wish to gain additional credentials in their current position of ministry. To complete the study, you will be required to summarize each chapter and then complete a reflection assessment to determine your comprehension of the posted material. Once graded, the student advances to the next course. All courses are self-paced, so the student will never worry about juggling class time and the hectic schedule of life.
