Chris is on target. The big argument against degrees from the same place is the insular one. But, PLEASE consider how much you will save vs. how much debt you will be in FOREVER if you go elsewhere. If the insular argument bothers you, pick up a M.A. from someplace else while you are teaching full time. But, Chrtistian profs are not well paid and it is VERY difficult to get rid of debt on either a pastor's or professor's salary (esp. if your wife does not work).
