Spiritual Formation and Leadership - Spring Arbor University

Spiritual Formation and Leadership from Spring Arbor University is a Online Master Religious Studies degree that prepares you for a Liberal Arts career. About the Online Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and Leadership Program Spring Arbor University's online spiritual formation and leadership program (MSFL) through the School of Arts and Sciences merges the longstanding principles of spiritual formation and growth with an evangelical perspective on discipleship. The program provides instruction for pastors, lay persons and others intent on their own development and fostering the skills to lead others in formation. With interest in spiritual formation increasing over the last twenty years among Protestants, Evangelical denominations have expanded the concept of discipleship to include an openness toward deeper transformation in the likeness of Christ. The 36-credit program follows a hybrid format (partially online, partially in person) and is based on Renovar?'s six streams of faith and practice. Your studies will include retreats, seminars and online coursework. The program is delivered through cohort groups of students who progress through the degree requirements sequentially (see the Course Sequence page). It's a program designed to fit into your life, but will require significant time in your weekly schedule. We say this unapologetically since anything worth doing usually requires prioritizing our time. Time with God is no exception. It is an online degree designed to ensure that you will get to know God, your classmates and have the support of your professors. The learning outcomes of the program will provide a strong grounding in historical knowledge, in-depth instruction in the practice of spiritual formation, and preparation for leading others in these practices.
