Many students serve under their home church pastor. Last year a missions internship was added as a requirement for missions majors. Having been a missionary myself, I am very excited about our new emphasis on preparing youth to fill unlimited mission opportunities worldwide. Finally, I think the training here is characterized by balance. Effective ministry demands familiarity with general knowledge, as well as Bible knowledge.
Effective ministry demands a keenness of mind and warmth of heart.

Christian young people in Grades 9-12 from private, public, and home schools enjoy warm Christian fellowship, a spiritual emphasis, and wholesome recreation. The students that come also visit University classes, attend chapel and special programs by University students and faculty, and get to live life as a dormitory student.
