Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies

This degree encourages students to discover their gifts and develop them for service. Students engage in a process of deepening self-knowledge, exploring the Christian tradition, and considering their potential to minister to the world. An integration of theology, scripture, pastoral skills, and personal formation encourages optimum growth for ministers. The degree prepares lay people to engage in theological reflection and to articulate a faith that does justice in the church, in life circumstances, and in the marketplace.
