Central Christian College of the Bible of Moberly announced Monday that beginning in the fall of 2020, it will begin offering its first graduate degree, a Master of Arts in Ministry Leadership. The degree is offered in partnership with Hope International University, and students can either complete the 36-credit program online through either CCCB or Hope, or through regional partnerships with churches that will provide an on-site classroom. Accredited by the Association of Biblical Higher Education in November 2019, students will take nine credit hours each semester, with one eight-week online course per semester, a one-week on campus course each semester, and a church-based coaching course at the student’s ministry location. Cost for the new program will be approximately 10 thousand dollars.
