Outcomes Overview
Faith Baptist graduates enter ministry with manageable debt loads. The median debt of $12,971 creates monthly payments of $138, which represents just 4.1% of typical graduate income. This debt-to-earnings ratio of 0.32 sits well below the concerning 1.0 threshold that financial experts warn against. With a 100% employment rate, graduates find positions as pastors, missionaries, youth ministers, and Christian educators. The 86.75% loan repayment rate indicates most graduates can handle their obligations. Ministry salaries traditionally run lower than secular careers, but the modest debt burden means graduates avoid the crushing payments that plague many college students. For students committed to Christian service, this represents a strong return on investment.
