Mexican American Program (MAP)

The Mexican American Program was founded in 1974 so that Perkins School of Theology could become a center for preparing church leaders with the knowledge and skills for effective ministry in the Spanish-speaking context and culture. From its beginning the Mexican American Program (MAP) has been committed to the ongoing work of recruiting, preparing, and providing continuing education to persons for ministry within the Latino/a community. MAP continues to enable Perkins School of Theology to be a center of Hispanic theological thought and writing and to advocate before the general church with and in behalf of Hispanic congregations and ministries.
