Boldly explore life’s biggest questions, solidify your passion for serving others and pursue a calling that adds purpose to your life.
Join us in preparation to live your calling in Ministry, Youth and Family Ministry, Children and Family Ministry, Intercultural Studies, or Bible and Theology. Expert faculty will guide and mentor you in an in-person learning community where you will be deeply formed—both intellectually and spiritually—to faithfully carry out your calling.
At MidAmerica Nazarene University, we’re helping you answer THE CALL, equipping high school juniors and seniors for a lifetime of Christian ministry.
The Department of Christian Ministry and Formation contributes to the Church of the Nazarene’s mission of making Christlike disciples in the nations by helping students prepare for ordination. Educational requirements for ordination in the Church of the Nazarene can be met through the Ministry major, the Youth and Family Ministry major, the Intercultural Studies major (with ordination concentration), and Children and Family Ministry major (with appropriate electives). Students interested in being ordained in another denomination should consult with the department chair to design a program that fulfills the education requirements of their church.
Concern about paying back student loans is common. That’s why we provide the Pioneer Pledge, our loan repayment assistance program. If your income is modest after graduation, Pioneer Pledge assists with your educational loan repayments. Learn more on our financial aid pages.
