Our cohort-based program offers tracks in innovative ministry fields with a focus on creating leaders to address the burning issues facing the church and the world today.

Program Options

Students choose an intensive course of study and then progress through a defined set of course work with the same group of 10-15 ministry peers.

Options include:

• Family Ministries
• Global and Contextual Leadership
• Missional Effectiveness
• Organic Leadership Development
• Pastoral Theology
• Servant Leadership for Team and Organizational Effectiveness
• Spiritual Transformation for Ministry Vitality

Our lead professors are all scholars and experts, bringing practical experience and a passion for mentoring students.

Several of our cohorts take students to the heart of ministry in places such as: Israel/Palestine, India, Malaysia, and San Diego, as well as other locations that equip students for leadership in a multicultural global context.

Delivery Model

We offer a blend of online course work and intensive sessions, giving students opportunities for both independent study and face-to-face interaction with mentors and peers.

Courses begin with preparatory assignments carried out online, followed by 1 week of intensives held on campus or at locations around the globe. All courses culminate with a ministry application experience extending over a few months. Students finish the course work within 3 years and then complete their thesis project over an additional year.
