How the Wheaton College and Missio Nexus M.A. in Ministry Leadership Partnership Works

The M.A. in Ministry Leadership is a 42 credit program designed for those with a desire to deepen their faith and raise their level of leadership while collaborating with others. Through this program, you will add a new dimension to your ministry as you learn from practitioners, church builders, and ministers who have worked in both small and large community church contexts

  • Learn from internationally recognized leaders in the field of Mission, Ministry, and Leadership like Dr. Rochelle Scheuermann, Dr. Junias Venugopal, Dr. Michael Hakmin Lee, and Dr. Rick Richardson
  • Cohort bonus: for a Missio Nexus cohort of 15 or more students, Dr. Ted Esler will teach special coursework tailored to the needs of the Missio Nexus community

Our flexible learning format is a unique learning format that allows you to remain in your current role while staying connected to your classmates:

  • Remain in your current role and take nearly all of your coursework online
  • Enjoy fellowship with your classmates at Wheaton’s historic campus just 1-2 times per year for community-building, week-long courses
