Master of Ministry

The Master of Ministry (M.Min.) is designed for full-time pastors, missionaries, and leaders of para- church organizations. Their invaluable full-time ministry experience has been made equivalent to 30 credit hours of academic study, enabling them to complete the Master’s degree in less time (36 credit hours, instead of the more typical 60 credit hours), while continuing the ministry to which God has called them. This degree helps acquaint students with recent theological issues, refresh a variety of pastoral skills, and allow students to tailor and apply their education directly to their present ministry.
