THEOLOGY
The programme is designed to prepare persons who are answering a call to pastoral ministries, and to meet the current educational requirements for ordination as Elder in the Church of the Nazarene in the CNC zone of the Caribbean Region. The Bachelor of Arts requires the completion of 126 credit hours.
Those who major in Theology at CNC are asked to testify to a specific call to ministry.
“The Church of the Nazarene believes in both the individual experience of a call and the confirmation of that call by the body of Christ. The church assumes that your call is genuine, but every testimony to a call must be confirmed by God giving “gifts and graces” appropriate for ministry to persons He calls.”
