MA, Diploma and Certificate (full or part time)
The programme in Leadership, Mission, and Ministry is for people who want to think through the nature and practice of leadership in the contexts of church renewal, worship 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, worship and the ministry of evangelism through the discipline of postgraduate level study and personal research.

The LMM2 week was absolutely amazing. Never have I been on a course that has so benefited my ministry. People in my congregations have been commenting on how much it is as though I’ve come back a different person (in a good way).
No doubt, God has been the teacher. I have learnt a lot. It is life-changing. During the course of the lectures I have laughed, sang, been challenged, repented and worshipped God.
