To truly breathe life into ministry, you need to experience what you are studying in an up-close and personal way. That’s why practical learning is built into our curriculum.
Your PRIME experience is a seven-month internship designed to allow you to work closely with ministry leaders who will guide you through full-time ministry and leadership experiences in churches and parachurch ministries throughout the U.S. and around the world. This experience will help you feel prepared for a life in full-time ministry after graduation.
With professors who care deeply for your spiritual formation, you will learn from those who have walked the path of ministry before you. Having backgrounds in international missions, church ministry, leadership in parachurch organizations and agencies, and more, the faculty equipping you to serve are compassionate, well-trained, and pursuing God wholeheartedly.
At the heart of ministry is service, and HU provides several opportunities to practice serving your brothers and sisters in Christ during your time here. From the student organization Global Vision, to opportunities set up through the Friesen Center for Service and Experiential Learning, to short-term missions trips, there are so many people to serve, and HU gets to the heart of it.
In order to equip you for ministry, whether locally or globally, you will gain access to various opportunities within your major to engage with the world. You may spend a semester in Israel studying at Jerusalem University College, or teach internationally over the summer months.
