The BA in Christian studies is our primary platform for equipping men and women to serve the Kingdom of God and participate in the Great Commission and the Great Commandments. Every student tackles church history, systematic theology, hermeneutics, philosophy and biblical studies with opportunities for internships with local churches and area para-church ministries. Students also can choose to take Biblical Hebrew, Biblical Greek, International Missions, Church Planting, Biblical Counseling and other ministry courses.

Students should take this degree when they desire to understand the Scripture’s understanding of God, man and salvation. This program provides a biblical, historical and theological foundation for students in light of how the church has understood and lived out the gospel for over 2,000 years.

Students should take this degree when they desire to think rightly about God, man and salvation. This program provides clarity on how the ancient Christian pursuit of truth with its biblical worldview, the nature of God in Christ, the current human condition and the hope for human flourishing in light of Christ should impact what we do and say.

Students should take this degree when they desire to read the Bible in its original languages: biblical Hebrew and biblical Greek. Learning the ancient languages face-to-face is a rare opportunity. Any student who wants to go to seminary will be better prepared for it, and students who will not go to seminary will find their time at CSU as perhaps the only chance in life to learn the biblical languages in a classroom setting.

Students should take this degree when they desire to prepare for mission work in or out of the United States so that they can think through what faithfulness to Christ means for their role in the Great Commission in a variety of contexts and platforms. The program tasks students to think biblically and missionally about all of life.
