Program Overview

The Creative Arts Ministry equips students to utilize communication principles, production arts, media technology, and best practices in ministry, to lead a successful creative arts ministry in a church.

The Creative Arts Ministry prepares Christian students to lead creative arts ministries and use the arts in appropriate ways to enhance biblical preaching, worship, and teaching, while also exhibiting Godly pastoral influence and skillful leadership to advance the worldwide mission of Christ.

All four-year Johnson students complete two majors: one in Bible and Theology and one in their chosen field, such as Creative Arts Ministry. Transfer students with substantial prior coursework may complete a reduced set of Bible and Theology requirements instead of the major. Learn more about the Bible and Theology curriculum here.
