Department of Bible, Missions and Ministry
The Department of Bible, Missions and Ministry provides instruction
and knowledge of the Bible and related studies to help students
become intellectually and practically grounded in the Christian faith. It
also provides an environment in which the student's faith can be a
personal experience to be lived and shared.
Specifically, the Department of Bible, Missions and Ministry seeks:
* To deepen faith in God, Christ and the Holy Spirit;
* To specially prepare students to evangelize in our complex,
changing world;
* To instill in every student a deep commitment to the Bible as the
inspired Word of God, and to the church of our Lord;
* To furnish basic training for sound biblical interpretation;
* To inspire students to develop a life-long practice of Bible study;
* To convey an understanding of the history of Christianity and its
contemporary expressions;
* To explore the nature of religion and the contemporary world and
to understand how Christianity relates to them;
* To teach students to think deeply and to formulate for themselves
an integrated and well-grounded Christian world view with
clearly defined goals, purposes and assumptions;
* To enhance students' lifelong process of being formed into the
image of Christ.
Most of the faculty have at one time served in the local ministry or the
foreign missions of a church. Several serve as elders, deacons and
ministers of local congregations. Many have published books and
articles, served as editors of professional journals, and been involved
in many other types of publishing. Some are internationally known in
scholarly circles, having read papers or conducted workshops at
professional meetings.
