Build an Effective Ministry with Contemporary Media

Tell powerful stories and cultivate meaningful relationships through effective media platforms. Learn to integrate contemporary media channels and production techniques into ministry and church communication needs. Make a lasting impact through design, video and audio production, music, and other technologies that bring hope and purpose. You’ll have many opportunities to use what you’ve learned through our own media channels, including Aurora Agency, our student communications and marketing organization, and Vision Online, our student-led digital journalism outlet.

This program equips students with the technical and creative skills necessary to serve in a professional capacity at a church, camp, or mission agency — providing direction for consistent, mission-driven messaging. Career opportunities include working as a multimedia producer, church communications coordinator, video editor, audio engineer, and online ministry director.
