MACE now MACFD

Posted on July 9, 2011 by Dean G. Blevins

Nazarene Theological Seminary’s Master of Arts in Christian Education (MACE) is now the Master of Arts in Christian Formation and Discipleship (MACFD). The name change also reflects an expansion of the degree to incorporate greater coursework in Spiritual Formation and Missional Discipleship. The degree will also retain its current emphasis on age-level ministry (children, youth and adults) and family ministry. For more information contact NTS.
