The Emerging Ministry Program is designed to prepare students to fulfill their vocation in a setting that ministers to the emerging generation. It provides supervised study, special courses, and placement in a congregation that has a commitment to exploring progressive forms of worship and liturgy along with other emerging ministries. The program functions as a specialization within any of the Master's degree programs. EMP students enjoy a wide degree of latitude in choosing experiences to bolster their degree program.
