The Master of Arts in Christian Ministry, a professional degree preparing students for pastoral ministry, is offered 100% online. This Association of Theological Schools (ATS) approved degree is delivered by the same faculty members who teach our residential classes. The goals for online courses are no different from those who participate in our residential programs: to deliver the highest quality, fully accredited courses in bible, theology, church history and pastoral ministry to students preparing for or already engaged in ministry.

The purpose of the Online Master of Arts in Christian Ministry degree is to provide a basic understanding of theological disciplines for those currently involved in professional ministry within the life of the church or faith community.

This 48-hour program is offered 100% online. Students do most of their coursework on their own schedule. The Anderson University School of Theology has scheduled courses in such a way that students can complete this degree in three years. Students may take one to three courses each semester.

This online degree has specializations in:

• Pastoral Ministry
• Student Ministry
• Preaching
