Mission Statement: Women make up half of our world and more than half of our churches. However, their perspective, voice and gifting are too often missing in ministry leadership. The purpose of this degree is to equip women with the confidence and skills to minister and lead with grace and effectiveness as part of the people of God.

Major Outcomes:

  1. Demonstrate integrity as a Christ-follower and leader.
  2. Articulate a biblical and personal philosophy of ministry.
  3. Acquire skills for Bible-centered, discipleship-based ministry with women.
  4. Cultivate skills to build and lead ministry teams.
  5. Understand the cultural challenges unique to being a woman in ministry leadership.

Program Description:  The BA/MAM Four-Plus-One Track offers an affordable, flexible, integrative, and customizable route to earn both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in five years.  Students complete the four-year Bachelor’s program and finish the remaining coursework for the Master’s degree with an additional year of study.  This option allows students to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies and Women in Ministry Leadership, and a Master of Arts in Ministry.
