Christian Theology

T. Brett Golson, Ph.D. (Dean)

The Cooper School of Missions and Ministry Studies works to communicate the universal need for all people’s redemption in Christ, develop students’
Christian character and ethics, and convey the social, cultural, and educational responsibility of all followers of Christ. Foundational for all activities in the School of Missions and Ministry Studies is a commitment to the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the Bible as the source for Christian faith and practice. 

The mission of the M.A. in Christian Theology is to expose students to the broad spectrum of Christian Theology and integrate theological truths into reflection and practice.
