Mid-South Christian College — Organization Profile
Mid-South Christian College (MSCC) is a Bible college in Memphis focused on preparing students for Christian leadership through academic, practical, and spiritual formation. Based in Memphis, Tennessee, MSCC describes its purpose as glorifying God by partnering with Christian churches to raise up individuals called to fulfill Christ’s global vision through academic, practical, and spiritual preparation. A key distinctive in MSCC’s approach is its emphasis that “Launching a ministry is the curriculum,” integrating classroom learning with hands-on ministry development.
At the undergraduate level, MSCC highlights the Bachelor of Christian Leadership as its flagship program. In that cohort-based degree, students are placed on a team that studies together across four years and works to envision, plan, and launch a new ministry outreach before graduation. MSCC also outlines structural supports tied to this model, including personal mentoring and a tuition approach that allows students to lock in their tuition rate for the duration of their program once enrolled.
In addition to the flagship bachelor’s program, MSCC offers multiple undergraduate pathways. These include dual-degree programs offered in conjunction with Indiana Wesleyan University, along with certificate and associate options for students seeking foundational Bible college training or preparation for supportive ministry roles. Certificate offerings include a Certificate in Bible (33 semester hours) and a Certificate in Christian Ministry in Bible/Preaching (66 semester hours), while associate programs are offered in Christian Ministry with emphases in Bible/Preaching, Bible/Missions, and Bible/Christian Education.
MSCC also offers graduate programs in a format designed for students balancing ministry and other responsibilities. The college states its graduate programs are offered in a hybrid format, with much instruction taking place online (including Zoom meetings, forums, and synchronous/asynchronous content) and with an on-campus requirement: each semester, students attend a week of in-person activities on campus. MSCC’s graduate degree offerings include the Master of Christian Ministry and the Doctor of Ministry, with information provided for admissions requirements and course structure.
As an institution, MSCC notes that it is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE) to grant certificates and degrees at multiple levels. MSCC also states it is authorized for operation as a postsecondary educational institution by the Tennessee Higher Education Commission. For those wanting to engage, MSCC invites prospective students to apply and visit campus, churches to partner in raising up leaders, and supporters to give—by mailing a check to the college’s designated giving address or connecting through MSCC’s donation page.
