Testimonial

The MA in Christian Ministry is a great option for students who are looking for well-rounded and accessible ministry training that will help prepare them for effective service in an increasingly complex world. This program also presents a real opportunity for students in the Southeast region of the US who are looking for a type of ministry training that isn’t denominationally insular in its outlook, but instead is grounded in a missional commitment to global Christianity. The program is new to TFC’s offerings, and so there is a great deal of excitement about the program, as well as support from TFC to make sure that students have a rewarding experience as they prepare for a lifetime of ministry.
