Minors in Bible, Missions and Ministry
The biblical studies and missions minor encourages general education
students to take Bible and missions courses that will deepen their
knowledge of the Scriptures and make them a more valuable minister
or missionary in the Lord's church. A deeper knowledge of textual
matters will enhance the future church worker's ability to enrich the
congregation in which that person ministers.

Certificate in Missions
Both Credit/No-Credit certificates are available to those who major
in other areas and desire introductory level proficiency in missions.
The Certificate in Missions:
* Is for non-mission majors who wish introductory level
proficiency in missions.
* Is not intended to substitute for a missions degree.
* In some cases, can serve as a credential in seeking visas.
* Requires the student work with his or her advisor and the
Department of Bible, Missions and Ministry advisor to
determine the selection to be chosen.
Note: To establish eligibility for a certificate in missions, a student
must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.6 or higher. Only those courses,
including all Bible courses, in which a "C" or higher is earned can be
counted toward a credit certificate in missions. Should one later desire
to enter ACU's graduate program in missions and use undergraduate
certificate studies as prerequisite leveling courses, a 3.0 GPA on those
courses will be required.

Summer Seminar in Missions
Having been conducted for more than 30 years, the Summer Seminar
in Missions offers an introduction to missions for some and a capstone
experience for others. Academic classes, equipping groups, periods of
fellowship and worship, and team dynamics contribute to the shaping
of missionaries. Three hours of academic credit may be earned in each
of the two-week sessions.
Missions Activities
Continental interest groups - African Mission Fellowship, Asian Interest
Group, European Interest Group, Latin American Missions Partnerships
and North American Interest Group inform students about
opportunities for missions in specific areas of the work, provide
encouragement and offer fellowship. Campaigns are organized and
conducted in both foreign and domestic contexts, providing students
with valuable experience in evangelism.
Mentoring groups - A strong feature of missions training is the
mentoring program. Inaugurated each fall at a mentoring retreat,
each person enrolled in a degree or certificate program is assigned to
a mentor for the school year. A minimum of one hour per week is
spent in prayer, self-assessment, encouragement and growth activities.
Warm association with fellow missions students is a strong feature of
the department.
