M.Div. with Ministry Leadership The Ministry Leadership track prepares students to serve in a variety of staff positions in local churches, church-related ministries and in denominational positions. The LEAD Program focuses on the development of knowledge and competencies in three basic ministry results areas: Leadership, Education, and Discipleship. The M.Div. with a track in Ministry Leadership builds upon the requirements of the M.A. in Ministry Leadership and the M.A.C.E. giving the student an opportunity to do focused study in a particular area of ministry. During new student orientation, students meet with Christian education faculty members to receive counsel and advice on track requirements. Prior to registration each semester, students should meet with their adviser.
