Master of Christian Leadership

What is the Master of christian leadership PROGRAM?

The Master of Christian Leadership is a program of study designed to prepare students for competent leadership in congretations, where the calling is not to senior ordained pastoral leadership, or to other ministry settings outside the local church. Students may choose a Congregational (C) or Public Life (PL) emphasis in their coursework to support their intended ministry context. This program is accredited by the Association of Theological Schools (ATS).

The program is designed to be completed in three to four years part time or two to three years full time. Courses are scheduled so that students who are working full time may pursue their studies without compromising their employment and family life.    

Who should consider the CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP PROGRAM?

The Christian Leadership Master's Program is ideal for persons pursuing education in specializations such as church ministry and church planting. It is also for persons wishing to complement their current career path with theological education by exploring the interaction between their faith and career.
