Description:At SSU, we believe that much of theological education for the past several generations has been better at preparing researchers than spiritual leaders. In the words of Richard John Neuhaus, “What is needed is not the training of religious technicians, but the formation of spiritual leaders.” We agree. In small, highly interactive classes, where people’s real questions and life issues are faced in a caring way, students gradually become the message they want to convey. This process is greatly enhanced by our focus on Ignatian Spiritual Formation—classes in prayer that lead to personal self-awareness for the sake of serving others. We are dipping into many fountains, both ancient and contemporary, from many parts of the Christian Church, to prepare healthy and authentic leaders for the future.

The Master of Ministry is a part-time degree program normally completed over three years and delivered through modules by our faculty and adjunct faculty as scheduled at St. Stephen's University. The Master of Ministry is designed for those who have an undergraduate degree, or its equivalent, and who have worked in professional ministry for at least five years. Those without this level of experience will be required to complete an internship, which vary in length according to the amount of prior experience.
