Sports Ministry

All Christian ministries majors must complete the core requirements as well as the requirements for one of the concentrations.

Sports Ministry Concentration 15 units
The sports ministry concentration consists of 15 units which prepare the ministry oriented student to be a sports ministry leader in a church setting. Many American churches utilize sports or recreation to accomplish their mission. Students study the historical, theological, biblical, and philosophical aspects of leisure time activities, competition, and how sports and recreation can be utilized to serve others. Coursework challenges students both inside and outside the classroom so they emerge as leaders in the growing sports ministry arena.
