Master's in Strategic Leadership for Ministry
El Alfarero offers a Professional Master's Degree in Strategic Ministerial Leadership with two possible specialisms, one in Biblical Counselling and the other in Developing Self-sustaining Projects in association with the Global University of Lifelong Learning (GULL) who will recognize the Master's Degree.
The Master's Programme (El Aprendiz) is designed to holistically prepare men and women who have a call to ministry. El Aprendiz seeks to integrate servants, services and ministries within a transformative community in a strategic and practical way.
The Master’s programme is 100% online and allows Spanish speakers living in all parts of the world the opportunity to study with us. Courses are also available to the public - click "View modules" below to see them.
How does it work?
El Aprendiz is based on individual mentoring relationships, which allow change and transformation at a heart-level and not just intellectually. The programme consists of 20 basic subjects in 6 study areas that combine the theoretical with the practical.
These 6 areas are Spirituality, Bible, Leadership, Biblical Counselling, Administration, and Contextualization. In addition, students will have other modules in their area of specialty or major.
In addition to meeting the requirements of the classes, each student of the full Masters Programme has to meet 3 extra requirements:
• A weekly one-hour mentoring appointment
• Attend the El Aprendiz meetings
• Form a support team and write a prayer letter every 3 months.
Modules included in El Aprendiz
Although our intake for the whole programme is capped, each class can be taken by the general public separately, making it accessible to leaders, pastors and missionaries who want to continue growing in an integral way without having to do the full Master's Degree, and more recently a number of the classes are available online.

"El Aprendiz was more than training or a development programme. It was a journey of discovery of God's purposes in my life and my place in mission."
