Ministry Leadership

Request Info Visit Apply

You are an essential part of God's church.

Whether you've been called to full-time ministry or to anything else, you bring something unique to the church. At Calvin, you'll gain the skills and knowledge to be an agent of renewal in your life and career.

In the ministry leadership program, you'll carefully examine how different careers and disciplines contribute to the life of the church and its ministries. Through classroom learning, research opportunities, and apprenticeships, you can discover your role in God's church.

Your experience here is grounded in the Reformed tradition’s emphasis on the role of all people in ministry. You'll graduate with a deep understanding of ministry that will serve you well in both your career and your personal spiritual journey.
