Christ Academy
The Christ Academy challenges students to grow in the Christian faith, further explore Biblical theology, and consider the vocations to which God has called them — perhaps even a career in full-time Christian ministry. Throughout the United States and the world, the need for strong Christian leaders has never been greater. Experiences and courses in the Christ Academy of Theology and Ministry equip students to consider the many ways they can fill that role in the Church.
