Program Overview

The Master of Arts in Evangelism and Discipleship prepares experienced ministry leaders to design, lead, and multiply evangelistic ministry. Building on biblical and theological foundations, the program examines conversion theology, disciple-making movements, evangelistic preaching, and the leadership of outreach ministries in the local church. Students engage seriously with the cultural barriers to gospel witness in post-Christian societies and develop strategies that are both theologically faithful and contextually wise. Graduates serve as evangelism pastors, outreach directors, denominational mission staff, and trainers who equip whole congregations to share their faith. The program honors ministry experience through competency-based assessment while stretching students toward greater theological depth and strategic capacity.
