Called to Serve. Equipped to Lead.

Ministry is more than a role. It’s a calling that requires preparation, wisdom, and faithfulness. Manna University’s Ministry program equips you with biblical training, practical leadership skills, and real-world ministry experience to serve effectively wherever God leads you. Whether you’re already in ministry or discerning your next step, this program is designed to help you grow with confidence and purpose.

Flexible Online Learning

Study in a 100% online format or in person with our engaged instructors, who have both academic credentials and real-world ministry experience.

Low-Cost Tuition

74% of Manna U students receive financial aid or scholarships, and the GI Bill® is accepted. Our generous transfer credit policy helps students move quickly toward their degree. All of Manna U’s certificates and degrees can be completed online.

Military Friendly

At Manna U, we understand the unique challenges that military students face. That's why we're proud to offer benefits, and online program options are specifically designed to fit around your family, work, and life commitments.

Ministry degrees cover a wide range of topics within Christian ministry.

At the Undergraduate level, these degrees offer students the opportunity to craft a degree program suited to their needs and calling within ministry by offering a high degree of flexibility in the program of study. These are Manna University’s most flexible degrees and are ideal for those who know they are called to ministry in some capacity, but aren’t sure what, and for those desiring a general background in ministerial skills.
The Graduate degrees include our Graduate Certificate in Ministry, ideal for those who already have a Master’s Degree but desire additional training in ministry, and the Doctor of Ministry, the highest degree awarded by Manna University.
The Doctor of Ministry program exists to help experienced church leaders solve ministerial problems at the tactical and strategic levels, and presupposes exposure to Graduate-level biblical coursework and extensive experience leading in the local church or as a military chaplain.
