The Degree Completion Program with a major in Christian Leadership is for the adult individual involved in church or parachurch ministry, either as a pastor or a lay person. In addition, students complete a major project, applying leadership principles within a Christian organization. This project serves as a connection between study and experiential learning, focusing on leadership principles that are based on sound biblical, theological, and sociological principles.
Instruction is seminar-style with an emphasis on student participation.
The integrated curriculum utilizes the student's work environment as a laboratory. A crucial feature of this program is the case study project that applies course work to life roles, particularly the ministry environment. Working with an instructor, students select and investigate an organizational problem and use models, concepts, and analytical skills to identify appropriate solutions for a problem. Strengthen the ability to read and evaluate research. Refine oral and written presentation skills.
