Study mode Start date Duration
Full-time n/a years: 1
This course combines academic and vocational focus; the Master's can be taken independently or accredited to an ordination training programme; the course connects cutting-edge academic research with contemporary issues of Christian life and ministry; it does justice to the complexity of academic debates but always relates them to the practical and the present.Module The subject-specific module for the programme is ministry in the Bible; the module offers biblical and hermeneutical frameworks for understanding ministry, both in its scriptural background and in today’s contemporary context; this module considers understandings of leadership and discipleship within the various parts of the Bible, including concepts of priesthood, elders and bishops; it considers how different churches have claimed biblical support for their patterns of ministry; and invites students to reflect critically upon their own church tradition and ministerial practice; students take 1 other compulsory module: theology in practice; this core module links all the programmes on the King’s theology and ministry Master's programme; it equips students with theological tools that help them to analyse the styles and the purposes of Christian ministry; with these tools (including disciplines of social science with their empirical research methodologies, historical enquiry, and scriptural interpretation) students are in a position to articulate a theology of ministry; and to formulate methodologies for understanding and interpreting their contexts and their actions as ministers; in addition to the dissertation, students take 2 further modules from Christian religious education: principles and practice; church, mission and society; educational issues in Christian ministry; ethical issues in pastoral ministry; patterns in contemporary ecclesiology; patterns in contemporary worship; patterns in youth ministry; philosophy and post modern culture; the Bible in ministry; theology, church and worship; theology; politics and faith-based organisations.

Location

London’s most central university, with four river-side campuses in a single square mile in the heart of London. The campuses are located either side of the Thames – Strand, Waterloo, Guy’s and further south, Denmark Hill. The college is associated with four great hospitals of Guy's and St Thomas’, King’s College Hospital and South London and the Maudsley. 

The Faculty's London-based departments are at the Strand and Waterloo campuses. Most buildings at the Strand Campus overlook the Thames, midway between the Houses of Parliament and St Paul's Cathedral, next door to Somerset House and the Courtauld Institute of Art, close to the Royal Courts of Justice. Within five minutes' walk of the Strand are Covent Garden, many West End theatres, and Trafalgar Square, home to the National Gallery and the National Portrait Gallery.

The Waterloo Campus is next to London's South Bank arts and cultural quarter which includes the National Film Theatre and BFI Southbank, the Royal Festival Hall, the Hayward Gallery and the National Theatre. Three minutes walk away is Waterloo Station.
