This program is specifically designed to equip Christian leaders worldwide to be more effective disciple makers in their local, national, and global ministries. TCM’s vision is that every nation will have effective leaders of disciple making movements impacting their churches, cultures, and countries for Christ.

TCM offers Certificate, Master of Arts, and Master of Divinity degrees, with a focus on disciple-making practice. Utilizing a hybrid of online learning through distance delivery and a face-to-face seminar retreat, our program provides affordable, accessible, and practical graduate-level training to become better equipped and credentialed as a disciple-making leader.

How do you help everyday disciples who aspire to be disciple makers?

Many of our students have been discipled by our graduates. So, they have experienced stories, insights, teaching, and mentoring that comes from their spiritual grandparents. When ready, some have begun studying with their disciple makers who are a few years ahead of them in their Christian maturity.
