Overview

This Ministry, Leadership, and Service program at Claremont School of Theology is designed for those seeking ordination as a Deacon in The United Methodist Church, persons seeking ordination in a Christian denomination that does not require the Master of Divinity degree, or for laity or non professionals in any religious tradition who seek to serve their communities in a variety of ways.

Available Fully Online

The online mode allows you to receive your MAMLS degree through online courses without ever needing to come to the CST campus. Most class sessions are synchronous – classes meet on Zoom at a scheduled time and day each week, and students must log into those classes through Zoom in order to be counted as attending, and asynchronous – each week students can participate at times of their own choosing.
