Christian Ministry Support Worker

This two-year program facilitates the development of students’ spiritual life while preparing them for entry level employment in a church or other ministry organization. It allows students to focus on biblical and theological studies as well as take professional courses related to pastoral or social service work. All the credits earned in the diploma may be applied to the degree programs offered by the College. This program has been designed so that students may complete the BRE in Arts & Biblical Studies at a later date by taking additional courses either in the classroom at Emmanuel or Distance Education. Students should be aware that specific course requirements differ between programs and so not all credits earned in the diploma may be applicable to a specific degree.

Students graduating from this program may be eligible for entry level positions in churches and other ministry organizations. They are also prepared for further study at Emmanuel and universities. Transfer credits to other schools are awarded at the discretion of the receiving institution.
