PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

Since it is essential for pastors to fulfill the mandate of preaching God’s Word (2 Timothy 4:1-4), the Communicating God’s Word (CGW) Expository Preaching Program (EPP) has developed a Masters of Arts in Biblical Exposition program that is designed to train pastors and students called into the pastoral and teaching ministry. This program has been intentionally and strategically created in such a way as to provide preachers and teachers with the necessary abilities not only to do expository preaching and teaching but also to train and mentor others to become expository preachers and teachers that focus their ministry in the proper interpretation and communication of God’s Word.

PROGRAM OUTCOMES

  • Learn the Proper Exegetical Procedure for Expository Preaching & Teaching.
  • Learn the Priority and Methodology of Expository Preaching & Teaching.
  • Develop the Skills Needed to Train and Mentor other pastors and teachers in the field of Expository Preaching & Teaching.

PROGRAM CURRICULUM

This program consists of fifteen online sixteen-week courses taught over a two-year or three-year period, depending upon the needs of the student. Many of the courses are offered at three credits, with a few at one credit for a total of thirty-seven-semester credits. Each course consists of lecture videos and demonstration videos that will instruct the students on how to understand the course materials and how to complete the exegetical and communication assignments taught throughout each course.
