Ministry

Harvest West’s Bachelor of Arts (Ministry) Degree is an applied award that prepares you for service as a Pastor, Youth Pastor, or involvement in other Ministry. The program provides an integration of theory and practice for those training for long-term service in Pastoral Ministry.

The Bachelor of Arts (Ministry) includes pastoral theology, practice and study of specific ministry and theology subjects; all in a Spirit-filled environment.

Student Testimony
Coming to Harvest West has drawn me closer to God and really built my character causing me to totally rely on God in all areas of my life. College has encouraged me to passionately seek God and serve others. I have totally enjoyed my first semester at College growing in God and fellowshipping with other students, and look forward to the next 2 ½ years as I complete my Bachelor of Arts in Ministry.
