MACM Program

Yes. New Geneva offers a fully remote MACM designed for those actively serving in their local churches or communities who need flexible, high-quality theological training. Our "digital community" format ensures that you aren't just earning a degree in isolation, but are engaging in live, real-time ministry preparation with faculty and peers. Relational Live Engagement: Our courses are delivered via live video-conferencing (Zoom), emphasizing the collaborative nature of ministry. This format allows you to engage in real-time breakout sessions and group problem-solving, helping you build a network of ministry leaders that extends beyond the virtual classroom. Ministry in Your Local Context: International and domestic students can complete the entire 48-credit-hour program from their home location. This allows you to apply what you learn on Tuesday night directly to your ministry on Wednesday morning, ensuring your education is immediately relevant to the specific needs of your community. Balanced Flexibility: We understand that MACM students are often balancing ministry, work, and family. While live interaction is a hallmark of our program, we provide asynchronous resources and mentor-led study to help you maintain a sustainable pace without sacrificing depth.

Admissions Requirements A bachelor’s degree from an accredited institution or its educational equivalent is required.   Transfer students must complete at least their final 24 credit hours at New Geneva.   Graduation Requirements Successful completion of 48 credit hours. Students must earn a grade of "C" or better in every required course.   Maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.5 on a 4.0 scale.

The Master of Arts in Christian Ministry is a non-professional degree designed for those seeking to enhance their effectiveness in specialized ministry or lay leadership roles within a Reformed, covenantal framework. Focused Practical Training: The MACM is ideal if you are serving as a ministry director, elder, deacon, or in a parachurch organization and want a deeper theological grasp without the 100-credit-hour requirement of the M.Div. Theological Foundations: This program is the right fit if you want a robust education in Systematic Theology, Church History, and Bible, but wish to focus your elective work on practical areas like leadership, counseling, or education. Equipping the Laity: If your calling is to serve the church in a non-ordained capacity with high-level competence and confessional integrity, the MACM provides the perfect academic and vocational balance.
