Missions Concentration

Bachelor of Arts Degree, Bible Major

Missions trip witnessing
A Graduate’s Perspective

Go Forth Baptist Missions is a mission board located on campus. One summer I joined a Go Forth medical missions trip to Honduras. I received first hand experience of how medicine can be used for Jesus Christ. Our team set up a medical clinic under the supervision of seasoned medical professionals. Many people were treated and hundreds were saved! This experience showed me a glimpse of the needs of the world—physically and spiritually. I was also shown a glimpse of what God can do with even the lowliest of people if they desire to serve Him. I appreciate PCC’s passion for excellence in training me for the field and for Go Forth Baptist Missions providing an outlet where I could use that training to reach people for Christ. — Anne, PCC 2008 Graduate

The objective of this program is to prepare students for cross-cultural ministries. Students receive practical training in preparation for mission board candidate school, deputation, and work in church planting. Throughout the semester visiting missionaries, chapel messages, Mission Prayer Band, and Campus Church encourage a warm heart toward missions. Each summer, students may participate on a team, assisting missionaries in the field.

Ministerial Seminar: Ministerial students majoring in missions are required to complete Ministerial Seminar every semester after the freshman year.

Academic Requirements: Students must have at least a “C” in all Bible, Bible background, and missions courses and in EE 330 Teaching Bible. Special policies are required of students who choose a broad field of Elementary Education or Teaching English.

Academic Program Fee: $90 per semester or $22.50 per payment. Students taking music lessons or group instruction pay appropriate music course fees.

Missions Broad Field: Students complete a broad field in lieu of a minor.
