The Preaching Ministry major is designed to prepare students for entry-level, servant
leadership positions in the church as preaching ministers, associate ministers, campus
ministers, and so forth. The focus is on understanding both the message to be preached
and the messenger who preaches it. Graduates are encouraged to pursue further education
through our Seminary, especially the Master of Divinity degree. For further information
on the University preaching program, contact the program director, Dr. LC Sutton.
The University also offers a program that combines preaching and youth ministry studies.
