The single degree of Bachelor of Ministry and Theology is a four-year program (full-time equivalent, FTE) for intending ministers of the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The programme is offered with an approximate equal emphasis in Ministerial Studies, Theological Studies, Biblical Studies and core curriculum. In each year, students develop skills in ministerial competence and spend a minimum total of 320 hours over a duration of 80 days on supervised ministerial practice in allocated church settings.
The programme is designed primarily to prepare ministers and other skilled pastoral personnel for service in the Adventist Church in the oceanic countries of the South Pacific. It provides a foundation for ordination to pastoral ministry and also for later specialisation and graduate studies. The programme is structured to develop the potential of the student through a sequential series of studies and by providing a biblical/theological, pastoral and spiritual framework which will assist the student to be effective in professional pastoral ministry.
