48 Education Purpose The Biblical Education Department seeks to: 1. Provide a Biblical foundation for a liberal arts education by presenting the great trnths of the Scripture through correct principles of interpretation and proper application. 2. Equip students to be effective witnesses for Christ in whatever careers they pursue. 3. Lay a good foundation for students called of God into full-time, vocational Christian ministries. Personal Requirements The department recognizes that Christian students come to the College with varying levels of knowledge of the Bible. Students who possess extensive Biblical knowledge may choose to take advanced Biblical education electives in place of either or both Old Testament and/or New Testament Surveys. Those planning to pursue careers in vocational ministries should possess an intense desire to study the Scriptures and seek to gain as much practical experience in ministries as possible, even before entering the College. Biblical education majors find the opportunities provided by the Christian ministries program to be excellent avenues for applying trnths learned in the classroom and for developing skills useful for effective ministry.
