ACADEMIC PROGRAM DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES

The Associate of Arts in Leadership Studies (Worship, Media & Creative Arts concentration) is designed to equip students for pastoral ministry and leadership within a local church setting, a non-profit organization, or a mission organization. This program is a concise, well-balanced shorter program in biblical and leadership studies for students who may not be able to commit to a more extensive program.
The AALS program provides students with significant knowledge of the Bible, a sound interpretive approach to the Scriptures, and a biblically-based theology. It equips them with an insightful understanding of biblical leadership and with the skills to serve effectively in a variety of capacities in the power of the Holy Spirit. The training and leadership skills gained in this program will equip students to minister to people in the local church setting or also in the marketplace.

BIBLICAL & THEOLOGICAL FOUNDATION
Every course is rooted in Scripture, giving students a solid theological grounding and equipping them to interpret and apply God's Word with confidence in any ministry context.
SPIRITUAL FORMATION
Beyond academics, students grow spiritually through prayer, reflection, and Christ-centered community, developing a deeper, more authentic walk of faith that shapes their character and calling.
