Program Overview LIFELAUNCH can help you prepare to build your life on a solid biblical foundation. This one-year (32 credit) program offers a Certificate of Biblical Studies and is especially recommended if you plan to go on to university or other career preparation. What you learn in this year will also help you to help others, both in the church and in the marketplace. This program comprises the first year of studies of the four-year Bachelor of Arts program, plus an optional short-term foreign mission trip.
Program Objectives It is expected that by the completion of these program requirements the student will have:
Laid a foundation of personal integrity upon which to build a lifetime of ministry.
Nurtured a reliance on the Holy Spirit for guidance, wisdom, purity and power in their personal life, family, and ministry.
Gained an introductory understanding of Scripture and doctrinal themes.
Prepared to maintain a Christian worldview in a secular humanistic environment.
Learned ministry skills, tested on the mission field (if participating on the LifeLaunch Missions trip), and ready for ongoing ministry development.
