Ringkasan program

This program exists to raise the level of ministry competence among church staff and laypersons in the churches of the Mid-South region. Two primary emphases are at the core of the Master of Christian Studies program. First, the courses offered are foundational, both in terms of the student’s ability to think biblically and theologically, as well as in terms of specific ministry skills. The courses in Old Testament, New Testament, Theology, Ethics, and Church History lay a foundation that grounds students both biblically and theologically. The courses on bible study, communicating biblical truth, evangelism and missions, leadership, and counseling, are designed to help the student grow in these vital ministry skills. These two areas, thinking rightly and ministering effectively, must be seen as working in a synergetic relationship. The goal is to think biblically and theologically to make ministry more effective. Well developed ministry skills then become the natural means of living out biblical and theological truths. A second primary emphasis of the Master of Christian Studies program is integration. Too often theological education is fragmented into isolated classes that are unconnected and coursework that is not directly linked to ministry in the church. The M.C.S. program integrates courses, with pairs of courses being strategically integrated to demonstrate how the subject matters interrelate.
