The Center for the Study of Church Management offers a variety of educational, research, and training programs. Our educational programs range from one-day workshops on selected topics to a week-long summer certificate program to a comprehensive on-line masters degree in Church Administration. Our research-related programs include a working paper series, reports based on funded research, research conferences on special topics, and scholarly publications. All of the education programs emphasize the practical, every-day management issues that church managers at all levels face regularly.

A graduate degree program awarding an M.S. degree in church administration is offered. The program is entirely online, with the exception of a one-week residential experience. The degree program attracts both a national student-body and faculty. Click here to learn more about our innovative Master of Science in Church Management program.

We also sponsor a distinguished speaker series that brings renowned writers and speakers to the Villanova campus for community-wide events. Soon we will be publishing a newsletter highlighting best practices in church management.
