MDiv with a Leadership Concentration
Being a pastor involves leading people—spiritually, strategically, emotionally, and more. So, if you have a vision to lead God’s people in a significant way, then you need your leadership skills to be finely honed and ready for whatever challenge you might face. The master of divinity with a concentration in leadership focuses on developing, equipping, and encouraging men and women to be effective leaders in the body of Christ.
When you choose to earn your MDiv with a concentration in leadership, you will explore how you can more fully develop your Christian leadership skills, going beyond some of the more traditional leadership skills. Our students are taught to understand and develop their own leadership style and philosophy of leadership and ministry based on solid theological, philosophical, and leadership principles. You learn all of this in addition to the biblical, theological, and pastoral studies that come with an MDiv degree. Ultimately, this degree is for those looking for a Christian Leadership Program who have a big vision for leading a ministry in a godly manner.
