TMC Approves Great Commission Minor

(Cleveland)- Truett-McConnell College trustees  voted to initiate a Great Commission Minor during their campus meeting last week.  Starting this  fall, incoming students will be required to take the classes outlined in the 16-hour minor while present students will have the option of taking the classes.

Rev. Mike Dorough, chairman of Trustees, declared that this minor is a first in Southern Baptist education. He said, "We also adopted a mission statement stating this purpose: "Truett-McConnell College equips students to fulfill the Great Commission by fostering a Christian worldview through a Biblically-centered liberal arts education.  The Great Commission minor will include the following courses: "Theology I, Theology II, Bible Survey, Baptist History, and Evangelism and Missions or Missions Practicum, and a one hour Foundations course.  

TMC president, Dr. Emir Caner said,  "Students can go to many schools and receive a strong liberal arts education.  Students can also go to many schools and receive a strong biblical education.  At TMC, we are grateful to announce the best of both worlds, the broadest of education."

The minor is designed to provide students with not only a sound education but prepare them in every aspect of ministry. School officials look forward to this new addition to the curriculum as it prepares students to live out their faith.
