In addition to providing 18 hours of course credit for each four-year graduate of the college, the Pacific Union College Department of Religion offers two majors and a minor for those who desire a more intensive study of the Bible and the Christian faith. Students who seek to prepare themselves for successful service as ministers, church workers, or active Christian lay workers will find both theoretical and practical information in their religion courses along with spiritual inspiration.

Small classes allow each student to receive individualized attention from professors who are concerned with the well-being and spiritual commitment of the student. Professors incorporate personal experience into the classes, and students have the opportunity to plan and participate in church services and engage in community service. A biblical basis for Christian ministry and how religion affects society are emphasized in our theology program.
