BA, Christian Ministry

The BACM degree is a very flexible program, offering students the opportunity to complete their studies fully online, fully on-campus, or any combination of the two. As such, the BACM works best for students whose employment, location, and life circumstances demand wide range of scheduling options as they pursue their undergraduate studies. The BACM also coordinates with other degree-options available through Spurgeon College, thus allowing students to save credit-hours as their educational goals may change.

Thus, if you have a high school diploma and are called to ministry, the BACM degree could be the right start on a complete, theological education. Even students now serving in various ways—whether as pastors, educators, staff members, or missionaries—can go further through the BACM, gaining knowledge and skill to last a lifetime.

The BACM degree, like the others offered through Spurgeon College, is recognized by the Higher Learning Commission, providing credit-hours that are transferable to other colleges and universities.

Online Option

You can now complete the standard BA in Christian Ministry degree using one of three different formats: on-campus, online, or a blended format. Spurgeon College provides a Christian environment in which to study and learn. Our smaller size allows you to have more personal contact with your professors. Our new online program allows you the convenience of study on your schedule and in your home or office. The blended format provides the advantages of both. Many of the online courses offered in the BA in Christian Ministry degree plan meet the requirements of several degree plans offered through Spurgeon College; however, before registering for a course, be sure it meets the requirements for your specific degree plan.
