The Master of Arts in Missional Theology (MAMT) is designed to provide theological education that trains pastors and leaders already serving in ministry to equip their congregations for their missional calling.
The MAMT is offered exclusively through the Missional Training Center (MTC) in Phoenix, Arizona, an extension site of Covenant Seminary. The MTC operates in conjunction with the Redemption Church network in Phoenix to recommend and recruit students in the Phoenix area who are actively involved in ministry in their local churches. Students apply for and are accepted to study with Covenant at this Phoenix location.
MAMT students learn under the guidance of experienced teachers and ministry practitioners that include MTC founder and director Dr. Michael Goheen, many seasoned local pastors, and members of Covenant’s regular full-time faculty.
