Vocational Missions

Is this major right for me?

This degree is designed for students who long to reach people with the message of Jesus. After receiving a solid foundation in University Core and general education Bible classes, students will be trained and equipped to go and share the gospel message with people in a variety of cultural settings.

Vocational Missions is designed for students with a passion for God's Word and strong people skills, who intend to pursue "tent-making" ministry in another cultural or geographical setting. In other words, these students plan to support themselves through secular work while living as part of a mission team.
