Wheaton College, New York School of the Bible, and Calvary Baptist Church in New York will be partnering together to offer our Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership degree program and certificates specifically for students preparing for or currently in ministry.
The New York School of the Bible is a continuing adult education program designed for believers to deepen their understanding of the Bible and gain confidence in sharing the gospel message. Its distinctive is that NYSB students come from a wide variety of ethnic, cultural, and educational backgrounds – each with a heart to study God’s word and further the gospel message.
Students connected to NYSB/Calvary Baptist Church can pursue a master's degree through Wheaton College and receive a 15% tuition discount.
The core of the M.A. in Ministry Leadership curriculum focuses on three competency areas:
- Bible and Theology
