The AA in Ministry Leadership program is designed to equip students for pastoral ministry and leadership within the local church setting, at a non-profit organization, or in a mission organization. This program is a distinct and short-term program in biblical and leadership studies for students who may not be able to commit to a more extensive program.
The AAML program provides students with a comprehensive knowledge of the Bible, a biblically-based theology, and the skills to communicate God’s word effectively in the power of the Holy Spirit. It also equips individuals with a deep understanding of biblical leadership, theological synthesis, and hermeneutic practices. Students will attain the leadership skills as well as the Biblical knowledge and understanding necessary to minister to people in the local church setting as well as in the marketplace.
The AAML program includes an apprenticeship (Practicum)—which may be completed in a church or a marketplace setting, as well as at a non-profit, or mission organization. This allows students to integrate their studies and to call in a supervised setting, helping them forge valuable relationships as they clarify their vocation and foster growth as a practitioner.
The courses and practical training lay a richly biblical and theological foundation for grass-roots ministry and leadership, as well as for advanced studies in local and global cross-cultural communication, and includes equipping in intercultural leadership, spiritual formation, and management.
PRACTICAL AND EXPERIENTIALThe integrated experience blends leadership, management, and organizational training with practical theology and a strong biblical foundation.
CLARIFY YOUR CALLINGThe new level of the formational mentoring, ongoing collaboration, mutual support and small group reflection that is offered by the AAML program allows students to refine and holistically prepare for their distinct vocational calling.
