The MA in Ministry Leadership is designed for church practitioners
The Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership is a 42-hour degree will not only have biblical and theological components but practical classes such as Organizational Change and Leadership in Ministry, Congregational Leadership, and Preaching.
The classes are done both online and through in-class intensives. That means that you’ll meet as a cohort 1-2 times per year for about 6 days—the rest is done online.
One of the perks of our partnership with Wheaton College is that as an Acts 29 network partner, you are able to get a 25% tuition discount if we form a full cohort of students. You’ll receive this discount each semester you’re in the cohort until you graduate.
So, if you’ve been contemplating getting a master’s degree or are looking for something that is theologically robust but still practical in ministry, you’ll truly appreciate and value this MA in Ministry Leadership.
