Our students are preparing to be pastors, chaplains, missionaries, ministers in urban settings, professors, music ministers, youth ministers, counselors, and ministers in a variety of other settings. Campbell Divinity School is able to offer learning in such a diverse environment, because it looks to its mission statement and includes students who can affirm and claim Christ as Lord, the Bible as authority, and ministry as calling. We find that the diverse environment of our school and the varied experiences of our students provide an opportunity for meaningful discussion and the possibility of learning from one another, both in and out of the classroom.
