FAITH NEWS SERVICE – Hood Theological Seminary has added two new academic programs. The first program, the Master of Arts in Christian Education (MACE), provides a concentration in Christian Education within the Master of Divinity Program. However, this new degree program is designed to further undergird persons whose primary responsibility is within educational ministry.
This degree is designed to provide sufficient nurture and educational opportunities to further enhance faith development/spiritual formation and increase the value of Christian education as ministry.
The second degree is the Certificate in Christian Education (CCE) Program. Hood is offering a Certificate in Christian Education as a non-degreed program to provide nurture for persons serving in educational ministry within various congregations and denominations. It is not embedded as a concentration within any of the master’s degrees offered. This Certificate in Christian Education is designed to prepare persons (clergy or lay) for leadership in Christian Education on denominational, judicatory, regional, ecumenical, or congregational levels and other arenas requiring such expertise.
The target audience is also for those who have not earned a bachelor’s degree, but possess a high school diploma, high school equivalency or an associate degree.
