The Master of Arts in Christian Education: Student Ministry is designed to equip student ministers with the foundation and skills that will enable them to minister effectively to students and their families in contemporary cultural settings. It will provide student ministers with theological and transformational study in the practice of contemporary student ministry.

 

The program will provide "student ministers" (youth, collegiate, or combination positions) with foundations for theological, educational, and practical programming for effective student ministry.  It will combine academic training and practical classroom application that will focus intently on contemporary student ministry practice.  It will also equip students in foundational biblical leadership principles.  The program consists of 15 hours of a required M.A.C.E. core curriculum, 6 hours student ministry core courses, along with an additional 21 hours of student ministry courses for a total of 42 hours.
