The program

The complete foundation for ministry, in two years

The Associate in Christian Ministry is designed for all who have a call to ministry, whether pastoral, evangelistic, teaching, administrative, leadership, or missionary. The program brings students to a level of professional competence in the shortest possible time, without sacrificing quality.

It consists of twenty courses totaling seventy-eight credit units, organized across two years. Classes are held on Monday and Tuesday from 19:15 to 22:00, a schedule built for those who work during the day and serve in their church on weekends.

Courses are taught by professors with broad ministerial experience and graduate degrees from accredited institutions in the United States, Europe, and Latin America. To earn the degree, students submit their intention to graduate at the start of the second year and deliver a Ministerial Reflection paper that combines ministry disciplines with a biblical and theological foundation.
