Master of Arts
in Christian Ministry
(MACM)
The Master of Arts in Christian Ministry (MACM) degree is a non-biblical language program of study to provide a basic understanding of theological disciplines for general ministry application purposes. Through a core of courses, it prepares ordained and non-ordained ministers and lay leaders academically and professionally for competent Christian ministry leadership and responsibilities in congregations and other settings. The degree in itself does not qualify one for further advanced study.
Program Goals
The central goals of the Carroll MACM degree, as a professional program oriented toward general theological education and practical ministry application, include the following:
Goal 1: MACM degree recipients will give evidence of survey knowledge of various theological disciplines.
Goal 2: MACM degree recipients will give evidence of growth and spiritual maturity.
Goal 3: MACM degree recipients will give evidence of knowledge, attitudes, and skills essential for Christian ministry in churches and other settings.
