Christian Spirituality

The Christian Spirituality track can enhance a wide variety of ministries – congregational leadership, education, healthcare, faith formation, retreat settings – by rooting those ministries in our Christian spiritual traditions and addressing the contemporary hunger for spiritual depth.
Students in Christian Spirituality explore an array of Christian spiritual traditions—contemplative, apostolic, Biblical, contemporary—and bring them into conversation with developmental, organizational, and missional perspectives on formation, pastoral care, and leadership.
