Master of Arts in Christian Ministry (LIFE)

The MACM (LIFE) program focuses the learning even more with its emphasis on Spiritual Care.  As an extension of the Lipscomb Initiative for Education, the degree enables students to gain numerous practical skills within a learning community located at the Tennessee Prison for Women (TPW).  The curriculum has interdisciplinary elements, with content from theology, psychology, conflict management, spiritual direction, and coaching.

The offering is open to male and female students, both inside TPW and well as outside the prison.  The curriculum is also sequenced at a manageable pace.  The weekly class rhythm creates a cohort-like community as students together progress in the program over the period of four years.
