Seminary to Offer New Programs

The Baptist Missionary Association Theological Seminary is excited to announce the opening of two new academic programs: the Master of Arts in Disciple Making and the Certificate of Disciple Making. Both programs are designed to help those interested in fulfilling the Lord’s Great Commission to make disciples.

For several years, BMA Seminary has emphasized evangelism and disciple making throughout its degree programs. However, these degrees typically focus upon preparing men for positions of pastoral leadership. The seminary’s new programs are designed to help professional and/or volunteers in ministry to prepare themselves for obeying Christ’s Great Commission to make disciples.

Officially beginning in Fall 2023, the Certificate of Disciple Making will be available for men and women who are qualified to study at the undergraduate level. That means individuals with or without prior collegiate studies may complete the eight courses required for the certificate.

The Master of Arts in Disciple Making will be available to men and women qualified to study at the graduate level. That means individuals with a properly accredited bachelor’s degree in any field of study may complete the 12 courses required for the degree. An undergraduate degree in religious or biblical studies is not required.

The new programs will focus upon equipping students with what they need to grow spiritually and to make disciples who can also make disciples. Courses can be taken on campus and/or online or by a combination of both.
