The primary mission of the church is to make disciples of every nation by bearing witness to Jesus Christ through the sharing of the Gospel and the administration of the Sacraments. The Master of Arts in Christian Outreach equips church leaders with a deepened understanding of a theology of God's mission and provides the practical tools necessary to engage in the outreach ministries of the church. This degree gives graduates the option of becoming a Director of Christian Outreach (DCO), a rostered position in the LCMS.
