The Master of Arts in Applied Ministry for leaders called to a specialized vocational ministry. Students choose to focus their studies on one of three concentrations that can be applied to a variety of ministries through churches, social agencies, or parachurch organizations.
The M.A. in Applied Ministry is designed to:
- Provide a biblical-theological framework for the practice of ministry in general and an applied ministry in particular
- Familiarize students with emerging theoretical and research methodologies in the field of ministry studies
- Promote a culturally sensitive understanding and practice of ministry
- Promote awareness of and dialogue with the current debates as well as ethical and theological issues relevant to ministry praxis
Overall, we train graduates who have knowledge and experience of the Christian faith, who give evidence of emotional and spiritual maturity, who relate to others with integrity, and who can tailor their skills for specialized ministry.
