Diploma: Associate in Ministry
Ministry Programs
Our professional ministry programs prepare you for ministry in an ever-changing culture. We are drive by the desire to see students develop morally, intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually to lead the church. Receive a solid grounding in your faith. Prepare to serve in the church and society.
Our Program
Develop ministry gifts for volunteer and para-professional roles in churches and Christian service organizations. Become biblically literate, theologically reflective, and committed to ongoing personal and spiritual growth and able to service in a variety of ministry and service roles.
Field Education
Unique to all ministry programs at Ambrose is Field Education – the integration of classroom teaching with supervised field experience. While our Field Education includes active ministry engagement in a practicum site, the purpose is to learn to reflect on that experience, making theological and biblical connections in class and then going back into the practicum site to improve ministry practice.
