Christian Formation

At Ozark Christian College in Joplin, Missouri, our Bachelor of Arts in Christian Formation explores how people grow into the image of Christ. You'll learn how to direct a discipleship program in the church, recruit and train volunteers, and design a curriculum to help people grow to be more like Jesus.

Christian Formation students are prepared to:

 

  • serve as a discipleship, small groups, or family minister.
  • direct a discipleship program in the church.
  • mentor others in becoming more like Christ.
