Preparing Servant Leaders, Since 1928

A balanced approach to ministry.

Hope International University’s graduate ministry programs are designed with a broad range of ministry leaders in mind. While some graduates go on to fulfill pastoral roles in a church, others are called into other para-church and non-profit ministries, whether overseas missions work or inner-city relief efforts.

Understanding that ministry comes in many different shapes and sizes, HIU offers a flexible program that lets the student tailor-make a program that fits their goals. HIU ministry programs are balanced within four key categories: Scriptural Development, Service in Context, Spiritual Formation and Skills for Ministry.

In addition to HIU’s flexible degree plan, graduate M.A.: Ministry students are able to choose a concentration that meets their ministry focus. Students can choose from:

• Biblical Studies
• Christian Ministry & Leadership
• Church Planting
• Intercultural Studies (Missions)
• Pastoral Care
• Spiritual Formation
• Worship

Undergraduate B.S. in Christian Ministry have the opportunity to get a head start on Master’s work by completing “transition courses”—graduate level coursework—that will apply to their current Bachelor’s degree now and a Master’s degree in the future. Students can choose courses from any of the concentration above, providing an additional level of expertise to an already multi-faceted degree program.
