Master of Ministry
The Master of Ministry program is designed for those who have a minimum of two years of pastoral experience and who, due to the demands of a present pastoral ministry, are unable to enroll in a year-long program in the Seminary. Instead, courses are offered in two-week concentrated sessions in January and July.
