Master of Christian Ministries

Gain the foundation and flexibility you need to pursue areas of passion and demand in Christian ministry.

The Master of Christian Ministries (MCM) is designed to equip students already serving in ministry to reach the next level of competency in their ministry path.

Often, people in ministry already know the needs of their context and how they need to grow in order to serve more effectively. The MCM will meet you there: mix and match classes from Bible, Theology, and/or History; Christian Ministry; Experiential Ministry; Leadership and Management; and Counselling and/or Psychology while focusing on two of these areas.
