SSU's Department of Ministry Studies provides a rich training ground for people who would like to devote their working careers to various forms of church or mission. However, we also provide a way forward for people that would like to grow in their own personal spiritual development so that their lives will be enriched no matter what career path they choose. Most of our work is at the graduate level (assuming a prerequisite undergraduate degree or equivalent) but we do have programs that are well-suited to individuals without this kind of educational background. We are here to help people grow as thoughtful, caring Christians who will love God, be led by His Spirit, and effectively care for people in whatever circumstances they find themselves.
The Ministry thesis and Bible Lands Travel Study are optional components of our residential program (required for the M.Min, by module) that may be taken for credit towards the degree. There is also the option of taking courses by distance education after at least one year in residence.
Studying here will enrich you, deepen you, stretch your understanding of God's Word and God's world, and help you to become the kind of person that will help to build His Kingdom in ways that make sense in a quickly changing cultural context.
