Theology

Serve in communities of faith and its outreaches

Our Bachelor of Theology will equip you with the necessary skills for effective service in churches and worship settings, youth ministries, outreach programs and other para-church organizations. You’ll gain insight from the historical roots and contemporary characteristics of the church, and you’ll be trained to understand and relate sensitively to the needs of congregations and local communities.

Your BTh studies will follow one of five tracks: Youth Leadership, Worship Studies, Pastoral Ministries, Christian Education or Church Administration.
