The purpose of the Master of Arts in Christian Education (MACE) program is to prepare men and women who desire to use their spiritual gifts and abilities of expanding the Lordship of Jesus in every area of their life and ministry.
MACE is a professional degree to develop and equip students with biblical and theological knowledge and ability to serve in a particular field of Christian educational ministry including children’s Sunday school, youth ministry, para-church ministry, alternative Christian education (including homeschooling) or missions.
The program requires two years of full-time study as all courses are offered both in residency and online. This program contributes to the EU’s commitment to assisting the church in fulfilling the Great Commission by providing Christian education training with many churches in Southern California, missionaries on the mission field, and lay ministers of education.
Having completed the MACE degree program, students will have demonstrated:
- a personal and spiritual formation that is foundational to Christian life and educational ministry (e.g., the shaping of Christian identity, growth in personal faith and Christian lifestyle, professional ethics);
- a sense of God’s calling to the Christian education ministry to advance God’s kingly rule in every sphere of life;
- knowledge and understanding of the biblical, theological, historical, and psychological foundations of Christian education;
- an ability to articulate the biblical and theological goals of Christian education ministry and integrate educational theories and practice;
- ministerial skills to fulfill the assigned duties and responsibilities as Christian educators and leaders in various life and ministry settings (e.g., teaching, counseling and leading in Church educational ministry, Christian schools, and alternative Christian educational ministry including Christian homeschooling).
