Ministry Degree Programs

Earning a ministry degree at Mid-America Christian University (MACU) in Oklahoma City will prepare you with the knowledge, skills and confidence you’ll need to achieve your vocational goals in ministry or in any organization. MACU and its School of Ministry is accredited by the Higher Learning Commission (HLC) of the North Central Association of Colleges and Schools (NCA). Here are just a few reasons why ministry degrees from MACU are rewarding and worthwhile investments:

  • Versatility: When you earn a Christian ministries degree, your knowledge and skills can transfer to a wide range of opportunities. You may choose to serve in a church and other religious institutions, or use your faith-based education in a secular leadership role that will allow you to make an impact on people’s lives.
  • In-demand Skills: People often turn to faith for comfort in uncertain times, and clergy-related jobs are expected to grow 3% in the U.S. between 2020 and 2030.
  • Pathway to Answering God’s Call to Serve: Everyone has a unique calling from God, but as we know from Matthew 22:14, “…many are called, but few are chosen.” A ministry degree will put you on the path to fulfilling your God-given potential. By focusing on personal strengths and integrating biblical foundations with professional academic studies, ministry majors will be prepared to help others grow their faith within a church or through other organizations.
