Master of Arts in Missiology

At Missio Veritas we are focused on being disciples of Jesus and making disciples of Jesus, and this simple idea shapes everything we do. We believe the greatest need in the Christian world, and the world at large is to understand the words of Christ deeply, follow them faithfully, and teach them to others passionately.

The Master of Arts in Missiology will not prepare the student for traditional roles and functions within the church. You won’t learn how to preach a sermon. You won’t learn how to lead a children’s ministry. You won’t learn the details of church history. You won’t learn most things that come to mind when you consider a Christian-based degree.

You will learn one primary thing—the words of Christ.

This degree will prepare the student for disciple-making. It is designed to provide the student with a thorough and rigorous understanding of what Jesus taught and how it can be applied in our lives and the lives of those around us.

This degree will follow the MISSIO framework of education: Memorize and Investigate the teachings of Jesus in Scripture to form a Structured understanding that can be Internalized and used for Outreach.

  • Memorize: Every word that Jesus spoke in the Gospel of Matthew will be memorized at some point during this program.

  • Investigate: Biblical commentaries and books will be used to deeply investigate everything that Jesus said.

  • Scripture: The Gospel of Matthew will serve as our core curriculum.

  • Structured: You will write essays to organize your ideas as you finish various sections of the degree.

  • Internalized: The transformation of the student is the first and primary goal. Doing the work of ministry without first being a disciple of Jesus is futile.

  • Outreach: Before receiving your degree you must start a Red Letter Church. We are doers of the word.

Our Master’s degree is a long-distance, cohort-based, self-study program, that takes 36 months to complete. 24 Months is focused on training, and the final 12 months will focus on church planting. You will be in an online cohort of students that start when you do. You will have constant interaction with them online as you work through this degree, and you’ll have a Cohort Mentor (CM) who is available to serve you.
