School Location
The seminary confers a Master of Arts in Christian Education degree upon students who satisfactorily complete the prescribed program-related
requirements. These include the completion of field education; participation in the assessment and evaluation program for two years, including Profiles of Ministry; a major comprehensive examination covering competencies in Christian education; the writing of a satisfactory personal statement of faith; achieving a grade point average of C (2.0) or above; financial clearance from the Business Office; and participation in graduation ceremonies. A student may individualize his or her program by testing out of particular competencies.

The aim of the program is to provide trained leadership for Christian educational ministries in churches, on mission fields, and in denominational offices. While the curriculum provides excellent preparation for educational service in the church, it does not provide thorough pastoral training. It is not an abbreviated period of graduate study leading to the pastorate.


In the context of an appreciation for the ministry of the church, the student will be expected to demonstrate ability in the following competencies
1. to model an effective role as a teacher and a leader and to assist lay people to develop teaching and leadership skills;
2. to enable lay people to worship, witness, teach, minister, motivate, and apply Christian faith in life and to initiate and administer programs in these areas;
3. to communicate, lead, motivate, manage, and administer people and programs in the educational ministries of the church;
4. to develop, evaluate, and administer curriculum in the church educational program and to serve as a resource person in the area of curriculum;
5. to function effectively in interpersonal relationships;
6. to understand the foundations of religious education and to conceptualize these understandings in the church educational ministry;
7. to develop specialized ministries to meet unique needs of individuals in the educational program; and
8. to function as a lifelong learner and to apply understanding of the developmental process and learning to facilitate learning among other people.
