The children & family ministry program is an interdisciplinary program between our ministry and education departments. You’ll learn the common bonds these two important callings share as they relate to children’s education in both the Christian and public arenas.
With the addition of two classes, this program meets all educational requirements to become ordained in the Church of the Nazarene and prepares you for ordination in many other denominations as well. This major also enhances opportunities as a substitute teacher and para educator positions in public schools as well as work in Christian K-6 schools.
