Master of Arts in Ministry Now Available for Enrollment
Designed with the busy minister and church leader in mind, the new Master of Arts in Ministry degree program at Luther Rice University (LRU) is available completely via online classes or traditional campus-based studies. Students have the option to finish the program in 18-24 months as an accelerated degree.
Providing Practical Ministry Skills
The new 36-hour program consists of 12 courses designed to assist church leaders in acquiring practical skills for leading in a local church or support ministry. All the courses come from three main subject areas: biblical studies, theological studies, and ministerial studies. The program includes courses on Old and New Testament studies, systematic theology, the work of ministry, preparing an expository message, and other topics directly related to ministry.
From a New Student in the Degree Program
“I was introduced to Luther Rice through a pastoral recommendation. After doing my own research and hearing numerous testimonies about the institution, I can truly say that I am excited and ready to pursue what God has for me at LRU. I am confident that the new Master of Arts in Ministry program will equip me to be an effective 21st century leader. The tools I expect to acquire at LRU will be used to strengthen and enhance the ministry God has already called me to,” said
Patrick Toney, a new student in the Master of Arts in Ministry program.
Teaching How to Develop Highly Effective Ministries
Graduates will learn how to evaluate ministries in light of the Great Commission and the Great Commandment, and be leaders in developing, designing, and implementing highly effective ministry initiatives.
From the V.P. for Academic Affairs
“There is a need for more leaders who are trained in biblically sound theology, but many people are not able to uproot their families and move to go to seminary. This new ministry-focused degree program, which can be earned completely online in an accelerated fashion, meets the needs of busy pastors and church staff who may not desire a long divinity degree,” said Jeff McCann, Acting Vice President for Academic Affairs at Luther Rice University.
