This summer Liberty University officially announced a partnership with CEF’s Children’s Ministries Institute^® in offering two new degrees in children’s ministry.

The undergraduate degree will be a Bachelor of Science in Religion with a specialization in children’s ministry. Students will attend CMI in Warrenton, MO for one semester to receive the children’s ministry component of the degree.

Liberty Theological Seminary will also offer a Master of Arts degree in children’s ministry in conjunction with CMI.

Liberty founder and Chancellor Dr. Jerry Falwell said, “I want every Liberty student in this program to be trained by…Children’s Ministries Institute on their campus in St. Louis for one semester!”  Dr. Martha Wright, vice president of education for CEF and a graduate of LU, has been working with Liberty on the details of the program. Down through the years CMI has gained a reputation for its highly effective training for children’s ministry practitioners. It is a great privilege to have been selected by the largest evangelical university in the world to be their provider of training for students who will specialize in children’s ministry.
