The Church Planting Specialization prioritizes
Contextual learning–An integrated, holistic treatment of church planting draws upon fields of theology, history, sociology, ethics, anthropology, leadership and missiology. Assignments are specially crafted for the student’s present ministry context.
Quality instruction–Classes are taught by world-class scholars who have years of experience in missions and global church planting.
Lasting relationships–All classes are taken on-campus or online within a cohort of church planters, introducing you to a variety of peers.
Predictable sequencing– The entire sequence of online and on-campus courses is mapped out, allowing you to plan for four short (1-2 week) trips to campus over three years.
Scholarships– All in-ministry participants receive a $4,500 scholarship annually as funds are available. To qualify for as many financial assistance opportunities as possible, we highly recommend submitting a financial aid application during the admissions process.

“There are not two realms, not a spiritual realm nor a secular realm, but one realm in which Christ reigns. And every gift and skill that we have, in whatever capacity, as a banker or a preacher, at the boardroom table or behind the pulpit, all are from the Lord and are required to be harnessed for the in-breaking of His kingdom.”
