This program is for church pastors, leaders of church planting networks, network trainers, church staff members responsible for multiplication, and college-level teachers of church planting. The program combines online and residency courses in collaboration with Shapevine.com and uses personal ministry experience as a greenhouse for your seminary education.

"That church planting has to be strategically reframed in light of the missional paradigm is clear. The MA in Missional Church Planting is itself a pioneering program that provides missional perspectives for church planters in the West. A worthy investment. "

Alan Hirsch
