Director

Many churches have directors that work closely with faculty members and the congregation to lead teams and make impactful decisions. Having a degree in biblical studies prepares you with a solid foundation to make such decisions. 

Church director job roles can vary, from creative director to youth director, organizational skills learned during your bachelor’s degree program are key for success. Directors work to build community outreach and serve to direct back-of-house operations in line with the church’s overarching goals. 

Missionary

A missionary is anyone called by the Lord to make disciplines and convert non-believers to the Christian faith. If your goal is to travel the world and spread the word of God, then this is the right path for you. 

While some missionaries do go to Third World countries, there are just as many who perform their duties in their home countries or communities. 

Chaplain

Chaplains are ministers who provide religious services and counsel in specific ministries. Your job as a chaplain involves offering interfaith or non-denominational counsel to those in need. Similar to counselors, they often encounter emotionally troubled people who need guidance. Chaplains work in various settings:
