Christian Distance Learning

Like it or not, the world is changing. As technology expands our options and connects the world in a matter of keystrokes, we think about the world differently. As a result, ministry today often requires additional tools for effective service.

Northwest Nazarene University’s Missional Leadership program equips men and women with a Wesleyan-Holiness approach to engaging twenty-first century cultures. Our programs empower students to enroll in either a 33-hour Master of Arts degree in Missional Leadership or a 75-hour Master of Divinity degree with an emphasis in Missional Leadership.

Our Missional Leadership program emphasizes the need for Christ followers to live out the gospel so that it is seen and experienced in community. By challenging students to empower others to take ministry outside the walls of the church, the program marries mission with the wholeness of life, both personally and culturally. This program advances missional leadership as both incarnational and holistic: missional leaders recognize the value of tradition and the opportunities and pitfalls within culture; they lead through servanthood; and they seek to ground their ministries biblically and theologically.
