College of Christian Ministries & Religion

Since Jesus is humanity’s only hope for eternal life, those called by God to professional ministry must be equipped and empowered to effectively reach the lost and pastor believers. Southeastern, which has a 70-year heritage of training pastors, missionaries and other church workers, offers undergraduate programs in church ministries and a Master of Arts degree in Ministerial Leadership. As an undergraduate Church Ministries major, you may choose from among eight concentrations that range from pastoral to children's ministry. Professors in both our graduate and undergraduate programs include Christian leaders such as Dr. Mark Rutland, the university president behind recent programmatic, physical and spiritual growth at Southeastern.
