Bible and religion at EMU

EMU Bible and religion graduates are working all over the globe in churches, service organizations and schools, making a difference with Anabaptist and Mennonite core values of faith, non-violence and service.

Worship and the study of faith are central parts of campus life. EMU hosts an active campus ministries team, which helps sponsor campus chapels and student groups. Bible and religion majors also have nearby resources such as a seminary on campus and the Center for Justice and Peacebuilding, a world renowned graduate program, that help make our program unique.

Opportunities to lead and learn

Opportunities to develop your skills in real-world settings are plentiful on campus. Take on a leadership role on your residence hall, or become a pastoral or ministry assistant and lead chapel services.

Join student-led Celebration, a music worship gathering held every Sunday evening during the semester.

The in-the-field Ministry Inquiry Program encourages students to explore pastoral ministry and test their gifts and sense of call first-hand. Participants work under the supervision of a pastor and are involved in many aspects of a minister’s life and work.
