The mission of the Christian Ministries Program is to prepare students to be leaders in church institutions.

The purpose of the Christian Ministries program is to help develop church leaders. Graduates will be involved in many aspects of the church's work in making disciples: youth directors, directors of Christian education, pastors, missionaries, children's ministers or in para-church work. Other graduates may utilize the degree program for pre-seminary studies or further study in the field of religion.

An inter-departmental agreement with the School of Professional Counseling allows students to earn a degree in Christian Ministries and Human Services. This program is ideal for students interested in pursuing the field of counseling through church organizations.

The Chaplain's Office offers many spiritual-growth opportunities and services to students:

• Chapel services are held at 2:30 p.m. CT on selected Wednesdays during the school year.  They are usually held in the Hodge Center for Discipleship or the John B. Begley Chapel.
• The Awakening ministry team travels to local and regional churches to minister through worship comprised of music, creative ministries and testimony..
• The Christian Ministries major and minor prepare students for a variety of ministry positions. Christian Ministries students participate in an annual retreat and several other community-building activities.
• Spiritual counseling is also available to students.
• The prayer life of Lindsey Wilson is an important aspect of campus ministry. The campus is home to corporate candlelight prayer services, prayer walks, prayer teams and events such as "See You at the Pole" and the "National Day of Prayer." The college also hosts a division of the Guideposts prayer line, which receives calls from all over the United States.

The Christian Ministries major is a broad-based program in applied religion that prepares students for a variety of opportunities for service as leaders in church institutions. Students may also prepare for seminary or graduate school as well as take religion electives as part of the general education program.
