Women in Ministry

Ministering in Academia
The call to teach in the academic arena is a call to excellence on all levels. In this theme update, you will read the testimonies of women who are committed to teaching and using their knowledge to help guide students who are at various decisions-making stages of their lives. You will find the academic world provides a variety of open doors for women in ministry.
