The Master of Ministry program is a modular program designed for those who are successfully engaged in ministry. Course work is structured to be practical with immediate, hands-on application to the home ministry. The curriculum has three phases.

1. Bible content courses, one in Old Testament and one in New Testament, combined with BI 640 Doctrine and History of Preservation of the Text, provide the student with foundational concepts to strengthen his love for God’s Word.
2. Master of Ministry courses, both practical and modular, provide the student with refreshing and revitalizing concepts that can be used effectively in current ministry.
3. Additional Seminary electives may be chosen to supplement M.Min. modules, allowing the student to gain advanced training in Bible content, theology, or pastoral training.

The flexibility this degree offers in its course requirements permits a student to tailor the requirements according to the needs of his ministry.
