Bible Teaching

Columbia International University offers one of the few undergraduate Bible Teaching degrees at a Christian University, uniquely combining deep biblical knowledge with practical education and ministry training. In this program, you will be equipped to teach God’s Word with clarity and excellence, preparing you to design engaging Bible lessons and curriculum for Christian schools, churches, and a wide range of ministry settings.

As a Bible Teaching major, you will complete a core of Bible and ministry courses (18 credits) and one of two specialized tracks (18 credits): the Education Track or the Ministry Track. The Education Track helps you develop the teaching skills needed for Bible instruction in private, international, and missionary schools both in North America and around the world. The Ministry Track focuses on building the Bible teaching and ministry leadership skills you need to teach Scripture effectively in churches and other ministry environments. As part of the program, you will also earn a second major in Bible, strengthening your theological foundation and preparing you for lifelong ministry and leadership.

CIU’s education programs are endorsed by the Higher Education Accreditation Program (HEAP) of the Association of Christian Schools International (ACSI), and graduates who meet requirements are eligible to apply for ACSI teacher certification, with fees waived for those applying upon graduation.
