Master of Ministry in Spanish, M.M.

Carlos Lonberger, M.A., Coordinator (Spanish)
Wilfredo Canales, M.A., Liaison (Spanish)

The Master of Ministry program is designed to resource serving ministers for effective leadership in missional congregations by equipping them and developing in them theological and practical competencies with a missional focus in the practice of ministry. The program focuses on integrating the best available resources of scholarship, ministry specialists, and contemporary ministry models with the practice of ministry. As students follow one of two tracks, General and Youth Ministry, they design a study plan to meet specific learning objectives and to give focus to a culminating project. The Master of Ministry/Spanish, which is an online program designed for Spanish-proficient students, offers a pastoral track, requiring completion of nine courses and a culminating project.

This version of Olivet’s Master of Ministry program is offered entirely in Spanish. It was designed to resource Hispanic ministers for effective leadership in missional congregations by equipping them and developing in them theological and practical competencies with a missional focus in the practice of ministry. The program, designed for Spanish-proficient students, offers a pastoral track requiring completion of seven online courses and two on-site courses, culminating in a final master’s project.
