Options to serve may include:

• ARC (Alliance of Renewal Churches),
• LCMC (Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ),
• HNI (Harvest Network International) Churches,
• ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church in America),
• or returning to your sending church in some leadership capacity or as a church planter of that congregation.

Other church networks are also beginning to discover MI and may receive MI graduates in the future such as Evangelical Free churches, Covenant churches, Vineyard churches, and more.

MI has teamed up with IMF (International Ministerial Fellowship) to help with licensing and ordination.

MI will assist students in finding a position suitable to their gifts and training and will continue in this relationship with them throughout their ministry if desired.

MI seminary students graduate with solid leadership training, equipping them to serve as pastors, church planters, missionaries, worship leaders and director of music ministries, youth or Christian education ministers, para-church ministers, or workers in other areas of leadership.

Many MI graduates are currently employed as associate pastors, senior pastors, youth pastors, and missionaries.

The Master’s Institute retains the right to withhold graduate status from a student if at the time of assumed graduation the student has demonstrated an unwillingness to address serious issues of character and wholeness.  The Master’s Institute retains the right to make this decision even if a student has completed all academic and internship requirements, recognizing that Christian leaders must be equipped and prepared in matters of academics, leadership, character and spiritual maturity.  This is a matter of protecting the student from foreseen or potential ministry or personal collapse as well as a matter of integrity for The Master’s Institute.  The responsibility and authority for this determination rests with the President of The Master’s Institute in conference with the Director, Spiritual and Character Formation and Dean of Students.
