Christ-centered. Personal Growth.
Spiritual Formation

Follow Christ. Lead others. Glorify God. That’s your calling – elevated at NGU.
Transformational Spiritual Leadership Begins Here
Effective leadership, in ministry and society, does not have to be a complicated process. You want to glorify God as you follow Christ and lead others to do the same. But where do you start? You look to God’s Word and the history of the church to elevate your understanding of spiritual formation.
Explore the biblical foundations of spiritual formation. Examine leadership, personal development, communication, and more from a Christian worldview. Experience the impact of disciples making disciples across generational and cultural divides.
Then, bring your in-class studies to life through Impact 360’s residential leadership program. Become a transformational leader in church and society through a Master of Arts in leadership with a spiritual formation concentration, at NGU.
What Can I Do With a Master’s Degree in Leadership?
Spiritual formation refers to the process of nurturing and deepening your spiritual life, growth, and relationship with God.
It involves engaging in practices, disciplines, and experiences that foster personal and spiritual development, such as prayer, meditation, study, reflection, community involvement, and service.
