Welcome to the Department of Religion
The Department of Religion at Jarvis Christian University is dedicated to the academic study of religion and theology within the framework of Christian thought and practice. We provide students with the intellectual tools to explore the rich traditions of Christianity, understand diverse religious worldviews, and engage in thoughtful reflection on issues of faith, ethics, and society.

Whether you are preparing for a career in ministry, religious education, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of your faith and the role of religion in society, the Department of Religion provides a supportive and enriching academic environment.
