Lipscomb was founded in 1891 as a place where students could grow their knowledge and their faith. That remains just as true today. And the College of Bible & Ministry is one of our most important guides as we explore, understand, and express our commitment to God every day.
As part of your Lipscomb education, you’ll focus on spiritual formation both inside and outside the classroom. Our curriculum includes Bible-credit courses as well as weekly worship. Our goal is to provide a solid scriptural foundation and practical experience so you can embrace your calling and embark upon your vocation.
We offer a number of faith-focused majors and minors that prepare you for mission work, worship ministry, Bible education, and more. To put selfless service into practice in the real world, students also have the option to take part in mission trips and service learning opportunities.
For those considering entering or already active in the ministry, we offer a number of paths for your walk with God. Our Master of Arts in Christian Practice degree includes theological studies that you can pursue alongside a graduate certificate program or additional coursework at our Hazelip School of Theology.

by Lauren Anderson The experience of attending the Tough Topics in Youth Ministry Conference on racial reconciliation proved invaluable for me personally, for the ministries of those present, and for the furtherance of the Kingdom. The day started with Dr. Walter Surdacki centering us on the reason for our gathering – to have an open and honest conversation about race relationships and to unify the church for the purpose of spreading love and justice.
