As you are planning your theological education, it is important to be in communication with the Vocational Leadership Coordinator prior to making any commitments VLC@mccchurch.net.
We believe in having well educated and trained clergy. The terminal theological degree for ordination or its equivalent from an accredited school of theology (i.e. accredited by an agency that is part of The World Conference of Associations of Theological Institutions – www.wocati.org) will be generally required as our minimum educational standard.
However, we do understand that people come to MCC ordination from many different paths of ministry preparation and experience. In an effort to affirm this diversity, individuals without a terminal theological degree from an accredited school can request to have their previous course of study and experience be accepted in full or in part toward meeting equivalency. The Office of Formation and Leadership Development may grant the equivalency or give partial equivalency with additional courses being required. This decision is most often made at the REVM in consultation with the REVM faculty as a part of the MAP requirements.
