“I have learned so much about the Bible, God, the church, community and myself through classes, chapels and living on campus.“

KMBC’s Christian Ministries program has been developed to equip men and women to serve Christ in a multidisciplinary context. Many times, God will call us to more types of ministry than solely preaching, teaching, or worship. Many churches are in need of a pastor who can also lead worship, or a children’s worker who can lead the missions team. Through this program, students will be well equipped and able to serve Christ and their church families in a multi-faceted way.
This program affords the student the choice of designing a major by combining two professional program options. KMBC allows students to essentially make their own program! While the “umbrella” program is Christian Ministries, different emphases or cognates will be what are taught and learned. The ability to choose two programs to complete their major give students the freedom to pursue multiple routes of ministry and be more effective in their field.
An example of this program would be combining Communications Studies (as Emphasis I) with Cross-Cultural Missions (as Emphasis II). This will enable the student to go to the mission field with knowledge of how to build up a Christian radio program, start a church website for locals, and even perform skits and entertain the locals while providing a wholesome, Christ-like message!
There are more than ten different options available to choose from, opening the doors for a broad-ranged ministry.
