Overview

Students are required to complete only 12 of the required 52 hours in residence on the AMBS campus. Through annual weeklong visits to campus for intensive in-person course sessions, you’ll gain opportunities for formation and vocational discernment and build closer connections to the AMBS community. The MACF Connect has been approved by the Association of Theological Schools.

The MACF Connect is designed for:

People who are not able to move to Elkhart to pursue seminary studies on campus
People transitioning into ministry and/or who want to deepen their understanding of how they can contribute in their current settings

People who want to develop leadership abilities with a Christian perspective for their current vocations — leadership that reflects the Anabaptist tradition

Program benefits

Develop an identity as a leader with skills to set vision and enable, encourage and challenge others.
