Masters of Arts in Missional Theology Program
73 credit hours
The Master of Missional Theology (MAMT) is a three-year 73-credit-hour hour course of study intended to equip graduates for Christlike leadership for God’s global mission by providing thorough training that is missional, holistic, and rooted in the local church. Graduates will have a solid foundation for vocational, bi-vocational, or non-vocational service in a local church, parachurch ministry, cross-cultural missions, or in the marketplace.
We provide an integrated approach that emphasizes rigorous theological education, heart-level mentoring, and hands-on ministry opportunities designed to shape not only how we think, but also what we love and how we live. Our goals is the same as Paul had for Timothy - a growing competency and humble confidence in God’s call into ministry leadership through the corporate affirmation of the church.
