You didn’t land on this page by accident. No. You are here because a ministry is on your mind… in your heart. Maybe that ministry is clear and focused. Maybe it’s still a whisper. But you are here, and we are here, in a virtual space called hope – collective future. And to move from virtual to real we walk together through a 72-credit program starting from a Christian core and reaching out to academic, spiritual, interreligious and diversity resources needed in 21st-century ministry. Future church, spiritual practice, environmental action, social justice, psychological wellness, the beloved community; ministry has become a breathtakingly open invitation. And that’s why you are here.
That’s why we are here.
