Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and Leadership
Offered By: Spring Arbor University
Spring Arbor University's Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and Leadership (MSFL) program merges the longstanding principles of Christian spiritual formation and growth with an evangelical perspective on discipleship. The program provides instruction for pastors, lay persons and others intent on their own development and fostering the skills to lead others in formation.
The learning outcomes of the program will provide a strong grounding in historical knowledge, in-depth instruction in the practice of spiritual formation, and preparation for leading others in these practices.
The MSFL program follows a hybrid format (partially online, partially in person) and is based on Renovaré's six streams of faith and practice. Your studies will include retreats, seminars and online coursework. Complete the first two years—31 credits—for the certificate in spiritual formation and leadership. Complete all three years—45 credits—for the master's degree. The program is delivered through cohort groups of students who progress through the degree requirements sequentially (The MSFL program breaks down into two 8-week classes offered back-to-back each semester).
