Comments from Alumni

“The AGTS educational format creates a learning environment that meets my needs for continuing education. The instructors teach cutting-edge principles from a Pentecostal perspective and encourage application to my current ministry setting.”

Randy Bartelt, Pastor, Highlands Community Church, Lincoln, Neb.

“The master’s program broadened my abilities, world-view, and gave me a greater appreciation for the Word. Projects became immediately applicable to my ministry. Relationships with faculty and students were an added benefit. If you want a Pentecostal flavor to your education, then AGTS is the place to go!”

Lewis Shelton, Pastor, First Assembly of God, Albany, Ore.

Continuing Education M.A.C.M. Program

The Master of Arts in Christian Ministries (M.A.C.M.) is a 48-hour professional studies degree designed to provide advanced biblical, theological and practical training for individuals who desire to enhance their ministry skills. It equips ministers to become life-long learners and to develop models of personal and professional growth. It differs from the M.Div. degree in that it provides no academic concentration which would prepare students for ongoing graduate degrees at the Ph.D. or D.Min. levels.

The Continuing Education version of the M.A.C.M. can be completed by any student regardless of the field of their undergraduate degree. The requirements for this degree as stated in this catalog will remain for the duration of the student’s program. A limited number of courses may be taken through directed research or distance learning.
