Description of Program

The Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry degree program offers professional training to mature pastors experienced in ministry. Normally such persons (if male) are ordained ministers unable to leave their parish and come to the seminary campus for extended periods of time. The seminary provides the major part of this professional training at off-campus centers in North America and various international sites.

This program provides opportunity for mature persons whose ministerial functions make it impossible to study at the seminary for extended periods of time to engage in a study program leading to a professional degree. This degree is not a substitute for the MDiv degree, the basic training for the Adventist ministry.

The MA in Pastoral Ministry serves both the English-speaking and Spanish-speaking Adventist ministry in North America. While admission to the program is the same for both groups of applicants, the curriculum reflects the emphases for the English and Hispanic ministry tracks (for details, see below).

In areas outside North America, the Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry curriculum is designed to reflect indigenous needs. A minimum of 9 credits are offered in courses specifically adapted to meet local conditions and culture. Adjustments are made in admissions policy pertaining to the length of ministerial experience and ordination requirements.
