Key facts

The Master of Arts in Christian Ministry is ideal for bi-vocational and part-time ministers, ministers with undergraduate ministerial education, lay leaders, and professionals from other disciplines seeking to broaden their competencies.
The M.A.C.M. prepares students at Mercer University to lead and serve in specialized ministries within their faith communities. Students develop a broad foundation of theological understanding that can be adapted for a variety of ministry context and are equipped for the practical skills necessary for local church ministry.

The cohort will take between 6 and 7 hours of course credit each fall and spring semester for three years. This will allow students to finish the program without having to move or stop work. Space is limited. Please apply by March 15 to receive priority consideration for the M.A.C.M. Online program.
