The Master of Arts in Christian Leadership (M.A.C.L.) is designed to provide basic theological and ministry education for persons who want to be better equipped for ministry and/or advance in their employment setting, but who have little or no previous theological education and have limited time to attend graduate school. Upon successful completion of this degree plan, the student should evidence the skills, knowledge, and leadership abilities applicable in the marketplace and for successfully leading the educational ministry of a local church. Its design also qualifies a missionary candidate whose mission board requires a year of graduate theological education for appointment (e.g. those undertaking specialized assignments, such as in medicine or agriculture). Applicants choose from two specialized program tracks: Spiritual Leadership or Educational Leadership.
