Hood Theological Seminary announces new degree

Hood Theological Seminary announces its newest degree, the Master of Arts in Christian Ministry (MACM). The Master of Arts in Christian Ministry program is designed for students preparing for ministry in Christian denominations that do not require the Master of Divinity (MDiv) degree for ordination. With this degree, students gain a foundational knowledge of how the discipline of theology functions in relation to Christian life and ministry; they develop a theology of pastoral works that sees, hears, and engages the overall witness of the faith Christian, students learn a theology of liturgy and preaching that is not only consistent but also illuminates the Christian tradition to which each adheres, and they also evaluate and apply theories of leadership and interpersonal dynamics that promote health and the welfare of a local church or other Christian organizations. .
