CHRISTIAN STUDIES The exigencies and contexts of ministry are constantly changing. This rises the need for leaders who are not narrowly trained, but instead are broadly equipped. The Master of Arts in Christian Studies is designed to meet this need. Students are provided a strong foundation in biblical and theological studies, along with an introduction to the theory and methodology of various forms of ministry. Options and choice are key to this degree, yet the rigor and depth of a Denver Seminary education are not sacrificed. All courses except for the summative paper are taken from other academic departments. CS 790 Christian Studies Summative Paper This course enables students to draw together some of the elements of their experience in the Christian Studies program to address a specific topic, problem, or issue that is relevant to their life and ministry. Prerequisite: Approval of the "Application to Enroll in CS790". Two hours. EDUCATIONAL MINISTRIES The educational ministries department focuses on the teaching, discipling, and leading aspects of making followers of Jesus Christ. Embracing church, parachurch, and cross-cultural contexts of ministry, the department challenges students to broaden their ministry perspectives. Students are taught to develop their own philosophy of ministry based upon solid theological, philosophical, educational, and leadership principles.
