Seminary

About

Our Seminary course is designed for assistant pastors, aspiring church planters, apprentices and even those in ministry wanting to 'top-up' their theology.

It aims to give you a good understanding of key theological concepts in detail with their pastoral and missional implications, to help you lead others in the Christian life.

Students can choose from a four-year MA in Christian Ministry or three-year unaccredited Crosslands Certificate. It is also possible to study the Certificate for just one or two years.

Delivery

  • 1. Mentoring in your local church

    All students should be involved with a local church and study with the active support of the local leadership. A leader who knows you will have to confirm this as part of your application and ongoing study.

  • 2. Independent study

    It takes a minimum of 10 hour’s study to cover the English-only online material and set texts each week, including weekly contribution to an online discussion forum, moderated by your tutor.

  • 3. Seminar days

    Each module in the year builds towards an assignment which you present and discuss with your peers in five whole-day seminars run by a Crosslands tutor near to you. This is available in English or French.

  • 4. Pastoral conference

    At the mid-point of the year, you will meet all the students at your hub for a weekend pastoral conference which focuses on practical application of the Pastoral module.

  • 5. Intensive residentials

    You gather for a week in the Autumn and the Summer for fellowship with your peers, introductions and summaries of modules, peer-review activities and interaction with current theological questions.
