Kanakuk Institute
John Brown University has partnered with the Kanakuk Institute to provide a 34-hour Master of Arts degree in Youth and Family Ministries. The purpose of this program is to prepare individuals for church and para-church ministries with a focus on the spiritual formation of others. By combining theory and practice, this unique educational experience will enable the learner to equip and mobilize today's youth and family members to worship, evangelize, and disciple others through the ministries of local churches and para-church organizations. This unique educational program will build on the strengths of both institutions.
This program is a 34-hour graduate degree program consisting of five components:
- 12 graduate hours awarded based on completion of the Kanakuk Institute's 15-month residential program: 9 hours Bible and theology + 3 hours for internship
- 7 graduate hours from a one-week fall intensive on the campus of JBU (September)
- 3 graduate hours online (December through February)
- 6 graduate hours featuring seminars by Drs. Gary Oliver and Greg Smalley at Kanakuk Institute (February) supplemented by online resources, activities and assignments (February through March)
- 6 graduate hours from a one-week spring intensive on the campus of JBU (March)
