Master-of- Ministry-Competency-Based

COMPETENCY BASED ONLINE
MASTER OF MINISTRY DEGREE

Ideal for Local Church Pastors, Staff Ministers & Ministers Serving in Other Christian Organizations

The process of earning this degree involves documentation of what has already been accomplished, what is currently being done, and validation of Biblical competency in the broader areas of Biblical ministry. Academic progress is evaluated through a demonstration of the mastery of content and skills under the supervision of assigned faculty, and a personally selected mentor.

Seasoned ministers, like many others, have to make hard choices, and one of the hardest was to drop out of their bachelor degree program because of family obligations, ministry changes, health issues, lack of support and encouragement, or perhaps the most common reason - they just ran out of money.

If that's what happened to you, we would like to show you how by combining your previously earned credits with life-learning units, you may be able to earn the Bachelor of Ministry in Biblical Ministry degree through our pioneering Competency Based bachelor's degree for seasoned ministers.

We can help you put together all of your previously earned college level credits with other types of training such as Biblical, business, military, etc., so that you maximize your past learning potential.
