Associate of Arts in Biblical Studies

The Associate of Arts degree is designed for the student who desires a strong biblical foundation in preparation for further study at another college or effective ministry within the local church.

Purpose

The Associate of Arts degree provides a core of Bible, ministry, and general education courses that equips the student with a biblical worldview to engage the workplace, the university, or the church as a “servant leader.”

  • Effectively study, apply, and prepare to teach the Word of God.
  • Think critically about the world from a biblical worldview.
  • Develop a desire for a lifelong pursuit of God.
  • Grow in Christlike character.
  • Develop relational skills to evangelize and disciple people in diverse cultural contexts.
