Master of Arts in Children's Ministry and Master of Business Administration Dual Degree Program

Thomas Sanders, Ph.D., M.A. in Children's Ministry Director
Sandra Reid, Ph.D., M.B.A. Director

The purpose of the dual Master of Arts in Children's Ministry and Master of Business Administration degree program is to provide Christ-centered graduate level education to prepare servant leaders for children's ministry leadership by integrating a strong foundation in Children's Ministry and Business Administration.

This dual degree program is an attractive option for those students who have a strong desire to serve in children's ministry, but will also serve in the administration of weekday ministries, non-profit organizations, or advocacy programs for children. The MBA provides the strong business foundation needed for strategic administration of all types of ministry programs, while the M.A. in Children's Ministry prepares the student for ministry specific to children and their families.
