Master of Christian Ministry (M.Min.)
Deepening Discernment. Strengthening the Flock. Serving in Power.
Program Overview
The Master of Ministry (MMin) is a graduate-level program for pastors, missionaries, and ministry leaders who desire greater theological depth and Spirit-led maturity for effective gospel service. This program does not offer theoretical frameworks borrowed from secular leadership models but is rooted wholly in the Word of God. Every course calls the servant of God deeper — into prayerful dependence on the Holy Spirit, into sound exegesis of Scripture, and into faithful care for the Church. The MMin is designed to sharpen discernment, renew vision, and equip ministers for the increasing challenges of shepherding God’s people in a darkening world.
Program Duration
This program is designed to be completed in one and a half (1½) years of graduate-level study. Extensions may be considered for those who are engaged in full-time ministry while enrolled.
Who This Program Is For
This program is for seasoned ministers, church elders, missionaries, and Christian leaders who seek to grow in pastoral competence and spiritual discernment. If you are carrying the burden of souls and long for renewed insight into God’s Word, if you feel the weight of spiritual warfare and desire biblical wisdom for today’s ministry context, this program is for you. It is especially suited for those who already serve in full-time ministry and are seeking fresh strength, deeper theological grounding, and strategic tools that are faithful to Scripture.
Credential Awarded
Students who successfully complete this program will be awarded the Master of Ministry (MMin).
This program is offered exclusively for religious and ministerial purposes under California’s religious exemption provision (CEC § 94874(e)(1)).
Spiritual and Practical Outcomes
Graduates of the Master of Ministry will learn to exegete Scripture with accuracy and apply biblical truths in preaching, counseling, and discipleship settings. They will be formed as leaders who lead not by personal charisma, but by prayer, humility, and the authority of God’s Word. The program equips students to address conflict, offer pastoral care, and shepherd the flock in ways that uphold both grace and truth. Students will also be trained to guide church renewal efforts — not through worldly innovation, but through repentance, intercession, and Spirit-led obedience. Practical ministry planning will be done under the guidance of sound doctrine, so that every decision serves the mission of Christ and the edification of His Church.
Invitation to Register
If the Lord is calling you to press deeper — to lead with greater wisdom, preach with greater clarity, and shepherd with greater love — we invite you to pursue this graduate calling. These are perilous days, and the sheep need shepherds who will not run when wolves appear. Come be equipped to stand firm, serve faithfully, and labor until Christ returns.
