Licence en Ministère Urbain

Through the Department of Theology, the urban ministry program combines both theological and interdisciplinary courses to prepare the student for the vast opportunities for ministry in urban and cross-cultural settings. The focus of this major is on the student's preparation rather than on the development of specific ministry skills so that the student may be faithful in the call to serve and share the Christian gospel creatively. Thus, this program seeks to develop both a wholesome theological understanding and an understanding of the significant issues in overcoming social and cultural obstacles. Students in the major and minor are expected to model a lifestyle becoming a minister of Jesus Christ in covenant with the Spring Arbor University program. Admission to the major/minor commits the student to a yearly renewal of this covenant through recommendations and review of the student’s campus life, academic performance, and ministry activity.

A Spring Arbor University (SAU) education is relational, deep, and rewarding. And it’s an education with a life-changing difference — Jesus Christ at the center of it all. Here, your studies won’t only earn you a degree. They’ll equip you with a mission. One that brings the light of Christ into our jobs, relationships, and communities.

At SAU, we bring the light of Christ into everything we do. Our tight-knit campus community fosters spiritual, intellectual, whole-person transformation within our students, staff, and faculty. What does a liberal arts education provide? Critical thinking skills. Problem-solving abilities. A wide base of knowledge. Expression and reason. It’s an education SAU raises to a higher level by focusing on Christ as the learning perspective.
