The Master of Arts in Church Ministries is structured so that students receive balanced exposure to biblical, historical and theological studies; and develop vocational skills and competencies through ministry concentrations. The MACM requires the successful completion of 36 semester hours with a GPA of 2.0 or above on a 4-point scale. Up to 18 credit hours of work may be accepted by transfer from accredited schools with a grade of C or better upon approval by the Vice President for Academics.
