The Associate of Arts in Ministry

The Associate of Arts in Ministry degree equips students with the general ministry skills while increasing their Bible knowledge and preparing them for additional study in a specialized ministry area. This degree is most beneficial to church members desiring greater usefulness in his or her local church or to vocationally called men or women who are still discerning their ministry direction.

In addition to the 39 hours of core studies, the Associate of Arts in Ministry consists of 13 hours of Ministry Studies, and 8 hours of Ministry Elective Studies. The AA in Ministry degree prepares students for further undergraduate studies if they desire to advance with their education. AA - Ministry Advising Sheet
