Master of Arts in Strategic Leadership: Church Leadership

The Master of Arts in Strategic Leadership: Church Leadership track develops effective Christian leaders for dynamic roles in the church and parachurch organizations through a theologically-informed, theoretically-grounded, and practically-applied curriculum.

Through this program, you will gain communication, decision-making, problem-solving, and critical thinking skills, and will apply leadership theories, principles, and ecclesial leadership skills in a collaborative environment.

Christian leaders must possess an ethically and morally responsible vision, sensitivity to multifaceted personal and organizational problems, the capability to identify and implement strategic solutions, cultural competence in addressing the needs of diverse settings, the aptitude to motivate others toward shared goals and objectives, and to fulfill these responsibilities with Christian values and mission. This program will help you study, develop, and apply these leadership essentials.
