FAQs

The Master in Pastoral Theology (MPTh) program at St. Ambrose University is designed for lay Christians of all denominations who desire to serve their faith community through a variety of ministries including: youth, hospitals, jails, adult education, liturgy, bible study, spiritual direction, administration, and many more. Courses are based on the Catholic heritage of St. Ambrose and ecumenical in scope.

The program helps individuals deepen their academic knowledge of Christian  ministries, while providing an opportunity to integrate life experiences with theology and scripture.

Our faculty offer both strong academic credentials and diverse pastoral experiences. They teach on campus and online. Besides teaching, faculty write textbooks and journal articles, attend professional conferences and provide ministry to local churches and the Diocese of Davenport.

This combination of a knowledgeable and experienced faculty only adds to the richness and personal satisfaction that the MPS program provides. Our students not only engage in a challenging academic course of studies, but leave better prepared to share their talents and gifts with others though ministry to the church.
