Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies (Worship)

Liberal Arts Approach — You will take core general education courses taught from a biblical worldview. This liberal arts approach will prepare you to have a broader impact for Christ and give you expertise in various fields that will enhance your platform for ministry.

Real-world Experience — You will complete a ministry internship as part of your degree program, allowing you to apply your coursework in a real ministry setting.

Accelerated B.A.+M.Div. option — Cedarville also offers an option to complete your B.A. in biblical studies and Master of Divinity in just five years, a faster, more affordable path to ministry.

Student Organizations — Cedarville offers many ministry and service organizations that help develop character and ministry skills. Many Bible faculty members serve as advisers for these organizations, and students are encouraged to take full advantage of them. The School of Biblical and Theological Studies sponsors the following organizations:

• Chi Delta Nu, an organization that provides encouragement to students entering youth ministry through prayer, fellowship, and service.
• Alpha Sigma, an organization devoted to promoting critical thinking through philosophical and theological inquiry into issues central to the biblical worldview and contemporary culture.     

Internships — When you are ready to move into full-time ministry, there is no substitute for hands-on experience. An internship is the best way to gain valuable experience and build relationships. Students from the School of Biblical and Theological Studies have completed internships with organizations such as:

• Athletes in Action
• Echoing Hills Village
• Far Hills Community Church
• Kids Alive International - Dominican Republic
• Living Waters Bible Camp
• Phoenix Fellowship Baptist Church – Durban, South Africa
• Scioto Hills Camp and Retreat Center
• TEAM (The Evangelical Alliance Mission) – Antalya, Turkey     

Global Outreach (GO) — Use one of your spring or summer breaks to go on a short-term missions trip, sharing the Gospel either in the U.S. or abroad. We encourage EVERY student to take at least one GO trip!

Discipleship Ministries  — Discipleship Ministries offers small discipleship groups (called “d-groups”) that meet regularly for prayer, accountability, encouragement, and Bible study. Serve as small-group leader or be a member of the Discipleship Council (DC), which helps administer d-groups. Both are great ways to hone your leadership skills while encouraging spiritual growth on campus.

Local Ministries — Apply what you’re learning in chapel and in the classroom as you serve through local church ministries and community outreach teams. Your faith will grow as you help meet the physical and spiritual needs of those you serve.
