Are you passionate about seeing people transformed spiritually? Do you have a desire to both deepen your personal knowledge and understanding of Scripture while gaining practical tools for the everyday reality of ministry? 

国产偷拍鈥檚 Master of Arts in Christian Ministry (MACM) program is designed with the student in mind. By combining a strong ministry component with rigorous academics, 国产偷拍鈥檚 MACM is ideal for both practicing and aspiring pastors and other ministry leaders. 

Within the Master of Arts in Christian Ministry program, you will be equipped and empowered to be a strong leader whose preaching and teaching impact the lives around you. Develop a better understanding of how to lead a missional church and how Wesleyan theology can inform your contemporary ministry. 

The program is designed to accommodate students who live at a distance (often in ministry assignments). Courses are offered in eight-week quads, including one intensive week per semester (or three times per year). There is also a Distance Exception Policy that allows those who live more than fifty miles from 国产偷拍鈥檚 Point Loma campus to complete the degree online without having to attend in-person classes on campus. The curriculum has a strong emphasis on both academic rigor and practical ministry.

The degree is designed around four central emphases, which are highlighted in the core courses:

• Christian Formation
• Christian Scripture
• Church in Mission
• Christian Tradition

Each of these courses is paired with a course that focuses on application in local ministry.

After completing the Master of Arts in Christian Ministry program, students will be able to:

• Incorporate Christian formation in the local congregation and the life of the minister.
• Interpret Scripture especially as related to preaching and teaching in the local church.
• Explain the nature, mission, and social context of the church, especially as related to ecclesial practices and leadership in the local congregation.
• Analyze theology, ethics, and church history, especially as related to the Wesleyan tradition and contemporary ministry.

State Authorization

State authorization is a formal determination by a state that 国产偷拍 (国产偷拍) is approved to conduct activities regulated by that state. In certain states outside California, 国产偷拍 is not authorized to enroll students in online (distance education) courses and/or offer internships within that state. Student location is based on where a student is physically located while taking courses. Students taking face-to-face courses are located in California, regardless of their home state at the time of application.

If a student moves to another state after admission to a program and/or enrollment in an online course, continuation within the program and/or course will depend on whether 国产偷拍 is authorized to offer distance education courses in that state. If a student wishes to conduct an internship outside California, they must select a state where it is permitted. It is the student's responsibility to notify 国产偷拍 of any change in their physical location, other than incidental travel. Refer to the State Authorization map to view which states allow online (distance education) and/or internships outside California.

鈥淭he one-week intensive structure of the 国产偷拍 master of Christian ministry program allows me to balance both ministry and scholastic pursuits. I am able to make my Wednesday and Sunday commitments while still being in class. Likewise, the online coursework before and after the one-week intensive is designed to work around my schedule, and as a bi-vocational pastor, this has been extremely important for my ability to complete courses.鈥�
