Master of Ministry (M.Min.)

The Master of Ministry degree instils leadership while providing a great foundational understanding of ministry. This unique approach to ministerial leadership is designed for those who have recently felt the call to the ministry, for those already involved in the ministry but who never received an advanced degree, and for lay leaders who want to increase their effectiveness. It is intentionally broad-based, with a mix of biblical studies, theology and practical preparation. And our faculty members are not only academically trained but also practitioners with more than a century of combined experience in full-time ministry.

This program allows adults to continue their education while managing all their other responsibilities. You don't have to quit your job and move to seminary. This schedule allows students ample time to digest the material they are reading and writing about and to watch online videos that complement the class instruction. A student taking two classes per semester, along with two May term classes and two week-long summer intensive classes, can complete the 42 credit hours for the degree in just two years, which is much shorter than a traditional Master of Divinity degree. Or, students can spread out the coursework if preferred and complete the degree in up to five years.
