The purpose of this program is to strengthen and enhance the resources and skills that students have already developed for leadership in the church. Students will have the opportunity to identify areas of concern in their ministries and draw upon the expertise of faculty and the content of curricular offerings to enrich their service to the church.

What Hemmingway said of writers can also be said of Preachers: We are all apprentices in a craft where no one becomes a master.

Christian leader will reach a place of personal and professional hunger for additional education. Today, there has never been a greater need for skilled communicators and handlers of the Word of God.

The Graduate School at Kentucky Christian University is pleased to offer the Masters of Arts in Christian Leadership with Emphasis in Preaching.

Each student pursuing the M.A. with an emphasis in preaching will complete 18 hours of core theology classes and 18 hours of preaching classes.
