Ministry
"Our ministry program seeks to prepare people for ministry by providing some of the best training in Bible and ministry by some of the most competent professors. Our Bible professors provide a well rounded education from specialists we have in Old Testament, New Testament, Theology, Greek, etc. Training in ministry (Missions, Pastoral ministry, and Youth ministries) is overseen by professors with more than 100 years total ministry experience. We have graduates scattered throughout the world in full time ministry," explained Dr. Bob Wright, department chair.
Program Overview
The Department of Ministry provides students with the Biblical and theological
values, skills, and knowledge necessary for starting a lifetime of personal
growth and Christian service. This includes training ministry majors
to begin an effective lifelong vocational ministry.
The ministry major builds the foundation of our general education core.
The values, skills and knowledge acquired in this core are deepened,
enhanced, and expanded to meet the needs of successful ministry today.
The ministry major is a two-tier design. The first tier provides the
common competencies required in any fruitful ministry. The second tier
focuses on the abilities unique to particular ministry fields. For those
students with specific ministry goals not addressed in the standard
ministry majors, the division offers a specialized ministry program
that allows students to develop an individualized major with the guidance
and approval of an academic advisor.
Where we've
been and where we're going...
"The ministry is the strongest it has ever been because we now
have so many faculty who provide the best training. Our department has
the largest percentage of doctorates of all the departments at Corban."
-Dr. Bob Wright, Professor of Intercultural Studies
