A certificate in church work will provide you with a broad background in understanding the Bible and Christian beliefs as well as the church and how it functions. It would be possible upon graduation to gain an entry-level position in a church or religion institution, however, most positions would require additional graduate or seminary training
It is possible to combine a religion major with other compatible majors, such as education, sociology or social work, psychology, communication, English, or music. These combinations could help to prepare you for work in a Christian school, in church related social services, music work, or in Christian media, both publishing and broadcasting
