Church Ministries (COL)

The Church Ministries program has been developed for working adults who are interested in serving in a leadership position in a church as a pastor, staff member or lay leader. Students who complete this program will have a thorough understanding of the requisites for ministry in a church setting and will have completed the necessary coursework to apply for credentials as a clergy person with the Assemblies of God.

Evangel has a Fast Track 4+1 program for students who intend to complete a Master of Arts degree at AGTS. In the Fast Track "4+1" program, a student may earn a bachelor’s degree leading to an accelerated Master of Arts degree from AGTS in a total of five calendar years. Students who are enrolled in one of the COL Department of Theology and Global Church Ministry majors can integrate these course requirements into their major.
