The Master of Arts in Christian Education: Student Ministry is designed to equip student ministers with the foundation and skills that will enable them to minister effectively to students and their families in contemporary cultural settings. It will provide student ministers with theological and transformational study in the practice of contemporary student ministry.
The program will provide student ministers (youth, collegiate, or combination positions) with foundations for theological, educational, and practical programming for effective student ministry. It will combine academic training and practical classroom application that will focus intently on contemporary student ministry practice. It will also equip students in foundational biblical leadership principles.
The program consists of 18 hours of a required M.A.C.E. core curriculum, 18 hours of student ministry requirements, 3 hours of student ministry service-learning, and 3 hours of student ministry electives, for a total of 42 hours.
Why DBU's M.A. in Christian Education: Student Ministry?
The world is changing and it is imperative that the way we do student ministry change with it. It is our desire at DBU to provide an education that will enable student ministers to cut to the heart of culture with the gospel and do our part to be the kind of transformational agents God has called us to be. If our theology is not sound and our methodology is not contemporary, we are in danger of missing this generation with the message of hope Jesus Christ offers and they desperately need and are seeking.
