Bachelor of Arts (BA), Family and Children’s Ministry

Your Future in Family and Children’s Ministry

A Bachelor of Arts in family and children’s ministry at Charleston Southern University helps a student to worship Jesus in any calling and area of life. Whether personally or professionally, the College of Christian Studies equips students to minister and live the gospel well in both word and deed in church, parachurch and other settings by establishing a biblical, theological, philosophical and historical framework of Christian orthodox thought and practice. Students are prepared to join the church’s call to 1) make disciples of all nations in the Great Commission and 2) love God and others in the Great Commandments. 

The BA in family and children’s ministry is our primary platform for equipping men and women to serve the Kingdom of God in one of the church’s largest mission fields: children and their families. In addition to a Christian studies foundation, students take courses in child development and ministry programming to learn how to best minister to children and their families. Students also will have opportunities for internships with local churches and area parachurch ministries. In addition to the required courses in family and children’s ministry, students can choose to take biblical Hebrew, biblical Greek, international missions, church planting, biblical counseling and other ministry courses.
