Early Adult Ministry Major

The Early Adult Ministry major prepares students to establish, develop, and evaluate a ministry to early adults in the church or parachurch.

Students focus on understanding today’s early adults and the forms of ministry that can be created to meet their needs. Graduates will be able to work in a church, college or university setting as they minister to young adults. This major also lays a foundation for seminary/graduate study.

Students Speak

"Relationships, Human Sexuality, and Family Studies classes were some of my favorite classes because they cover subjects that are so applicable to everyday life situations. I have been interning at a crisis pregnancy center, and I have been able to use information I have learned in those classes while interacting with the women who come into the office."
