You also have the opportunity to work with faculty members to create entirely new or customized learning experiences that help you develop vocational excellence and expertise.
Contextual Project in a Unique Areas of Focus
As part of your Master of Arts program, you will complete a contextual project in which you integrate your learning, theology, and practice.

You will work with your mentor team to customize or concentrate in any area of ministry. The choice is yours!
Contextual Learning
Throughout the program, you have the opportunity to work with your mentor team to design learning experiences that are entirely shaped by what you are doing (or will do) in your current or desired vocational context. Are you planting a church? Building a youth ministry program? Developing curriculum? Then use that in your program! Are you managing finances? Writing code? Building homes? Developing software? Leading teams? Then use that in your program! If an experience or project is connected to what it means to flourish in your vocation, then use it to make progress in your program!
