Earn a master's degree in Christian ministry
Southwest Baptist University’s Master of Arts in Christian Ministry is an innovative degree that systematically integrates ministry and theology in a flexible program to help you achieve your goals. In contrast to other programs in which the curriculum is divided along the lines of theoretical and practical studies, the Master of Arts in Christian Ministry is a practical theology degree, combining theological studies and ministerial studies in every course.
Building on a liberal arts education, the program provides broad, formative training that will equip you to approach ministry in new and creative ways and prepare you to be a more effective leader. Your critical thinking skills will be sharpened and honed as you learn to engage the culture and address emerging problems and issues.
- Choose a concentration to tailor the degree program to fit your personal interests and calling.
- Program tracks allow undergraduate students to get a quick start through an early acceptance program, while also providing a traditional graduate student format.
- This degree program is distance-learning friendly, allowing for flexibility, convenience, and connection.
- Competitive tuition and financial aid opportunities help make this an affordable program for you to further your education and ministry training.
This is a program designed to help you realize your full potential for ministry, to equip you to serve and to be used by God in new ways to build up the church and to advance His Kingdom.
