MA in Mission (Leadership and Renewal)

MA, Diploma and Certificate (Full- or part-time)

The programme in Leadership, Renewal and Mission is for people who want to think through the nature and practice of leadership in the contexts of church renewal and mission.

It is designed for lay or ordained persons, from all traditions, who are interested in exploring the contemporary challenges to Christian spirituality, church leadership and the ministry of evangelism through the discipline of postgraduate level study and personal research.

There are 2 main units of study which cover a range of themes:

  • Leadership: Ministry and Worship

Main themes include Christian leadership; the Church in ministry and mission and the Church at worship and mission

  • Renewal: Spirituality and Discipleship

Main themes include catechesis and Christian initiation; the Holy Spirit and spiritual renewal and the spiritual life and Christian discipleship

Each unit is assessed by a 6-8,000 word assignment.

This programme can be undertaken either part-time or full-time at a number of different levels:

  • Postgraduate Certificate in Mission (Leadership & Renewal): a one year part-time course incorporating the two units of study.
  • Postgraduate Diploma in Mission (Leadership & Renewal): a one year full-time or two year part-time course incorporating the two units of study and EITHER two units from the syllabus; OR one unit from the syllabus plus a Diploma level dissertation of 6-8,000 words
  • MA in Mission (Leadership & Renewal): a one year full-time or two year part-time course incorporating the two units of study AND two units from the syllabus plus a Masters level dissertation of 12-15,000 words

 

For part-time students, there are two residential weeks in a year (early October and February), each of which introduce one unit of study. It is expected that part-time students will work on average 15 hours a week for 30 weeks in each year, in addition to researching a dissertation if required. Full-time students will complete all the units relevant to their course in a year (up to four for MA level), and have until the following March to submit a dissertation if required.

 

If you are looking for a programme that brings an emphasis upon the privileges, pressures and challenges facing Christian leaders in the vocation of mission and evangelism today, then this is the one for you!
