What our students say

"Once I started at MAC and experienced the combination of practical skills and biblical knowledge that we learn – I was hooked and kept adding on more subjects because I wanted to keep learning!"

Jennifer - student
“I have loved my time there the past three years, and it has changed and shaped me dramatically and prepared me well for this season.”

Vanessa - student

Jocelyn - student
I've had lots of opportunities to study the Bible and I know lots of things about mental health, but the idea of uniting psychology and theology…felt like something so tremendously relevant to my ministry.
