We are delighted to announce the launch of our first in-ministry curriculum focused on Church Planting. The Master of Arts in Intercultural Studies degree with a specialization in Church Planting begins this Fall (2014) with an orientation and on-campus class experience in October.
This opportunity is accessible for ministry professionals serving in either a domestic or overseas ministry context. In this innovative cohort model, approximately twenty students will take the same sequence of online and on-campus courses while being actively engaged in their local church plants. Over the next three years, these students will gather for three additional on-campus meetings as well as participate in interactive online classes together. The on-campus experiences are already predetermined and students will receive the scheduled dates for these classes up to twelve months in advance. This model allows students to remain in-ministry while actively participating in the Asbury Seminary community. Additionally, it allows church planters to acquire a rich network of peers and seasoned faculty to support and equip their ministry without having to take a leave of absence during a critical season of engagement.
