Master of Ministry

Mid-America Christian University’s Master of Ministry program is designed for pastors, lay leaders, and individuals committed to serving others through Christian ministry. The curriculum establishes a strong theological foundation in biblical exegesis, spiritual formation, and church history, while also exploring contemporary leadership, strategic planning, and evangelism techniques that can be immediately applied in various ministry contexts. Required practicums provide students with opportunities to apply their newfound knowledge within church settings, enhancing their practical ministry skills.
