Division of Biblical and Theological Studies

The administration and faculty at Brewer Christian College and Graduate School truly believe that “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” (II Timothy 3:16&17, NIV). At Brewer Christian College and Graduate School, the Word of God is the foundation of each program of study. All students pursuing an undergraduate degree are required to complete a major in Bible consisting of a foundational core of 29-44 semester credit hours of Bible and theology, and 39 hours of Bible and Theology based professional studies. We believe that every student should complete a Biblical Studies major for the following reasons:

  1. We affirm the Divine inspiration, truthfulness, and authority of both the Old and New Testament scriptures, in their entirety, and the only written Word of God, without error in all that it affirms, and the only infallible rule of life, faith, and practice.
  2. We affirm the power of God’s word to accomplish His purpose of salvation. The message of the Bible is addressed to all mankind, for God’s revelation in Christ and in Scripture is unchangeable. Through it, the Holy Spirit still speaks today. He illuminates the minds of God’s people in every culture to preserve its truth freshly through their own eyes
  3. The Bible provides the foundation for effective and powerful service to God through vocation in the Church and in the world.
  4. The Bible provides an individual with a standard for living a Godly and purpose filled life.

Bachelor of Arts in Bible- Youth Ministries Major
(120 Credit Hour Program)

Overview
Studying youth ministry at Brewer Christian College will provide you with the tools needed to build a Christ centered program at your church, para-church or youth agency. With real life youth ministry professionals as mentors, our program will work with your local church or ministry to help you become the "equipped" minister that God has called you to be.

  • Firm Biblical Foundation- Our youth ministry curriculum is anchored in the Word of God. Using the model of Jesus himself as the Master Youth Minister, our program strives to find His design for every aspect of working with adolescence.
  • Cultural Relevance- What are the needs of today's young people? If you haven't noticed it's pretty rough to be a teenager right know. Schools have become war-zones. Teen pregnancy is on the rise. Drugs are back in fashion. Yet a revival among our teens in more evident then ever in recent history.
  • Theoretically Sound- Historically, one of the major weaknesses of the church's ministry to youth has been the disinterest in the insights to be gained from research in the areas of adolescent psychology, educational theory, sociology, communication and the processes of cognitive and moral development. At Brewer Christian College we are committed to making this information an integral part of your studies.
  • Personal Renewal- At Brewer Christian College we are convinced that the greatest training for ministry is born from personal spiritual renewal and revival. The greatest side effect of studying youth ministry at Brewer is that you may find yourself falling in love with Jesus all over again .
