Practical Theology

The Master of Arts (Theology) in Practical Theology provides a path of advanced study in the theory and practice of practical ministry. Students will choose from a variety of concentrations within practical theology in which to focus their work in areas, such as: evangelism and mission, next generations ministry, leadership, spiritual formation, and pastoral ministry. The area of concentration will introduce students to the field of study more broadly, and will culminate in a project or thesis.
