Master of Christian Studies (M.C.S.)

The Master of Christian Studies exists to raise the level of ministry competence among church staff and laypersons in churches of the Mid-South region.

Two emphases are at the core of the Master of Christian Studies program. First, many courses offered are foundational in terms of the student's ability to think biblically and theologically. Others are designed in terms of specific ministry skills. These two areas, thinking rightly and ministering effectively, work together. 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.
