• A Diverse and Christ-Centered Community: We actively seek to create a community where individuals from various backgrounds and Christian traditions find a place to thrive academically, socially, and spiritually. Professors encourage open dialogue, respectful discussion, and critical thinking, allowing students to explore and express their theological beliefs while engaging with those of their peers. 
• Biblical, Theological, and Practical: Eastern’s holistic approach to ministry education is to help our students be well-grounded, educated, and prepared to do the work to which they are called through the development of minds, hearts, and hands. While we aim to gain historical appreciation for ministry approaches over the years, our desire is to prepare students to be ministry leaders of the future, equipped to identify current and relevant cultural trends and respond accordingly. 
• Strategic Partnerships: Our program has multiple partnerships with some of the most influential organizations in ministry, giving students unique opportunities to experience and learn from some of the best minds in ministry.
• Study Abroad Options: Our university has established programs with institutions all over the globe, including renowned Ministry, Theology, and Bible programs. This provides opportunities for students to explore and study within a global context for faith and ministry. 
• Job Placement: Eastern is recognized by churches, camps, ministries, and denominational leaders as one of the top schools for ministry training. We are a primary location for recruitment, and our faculty prides themselves on assisting our graduates with job placement and support.
