Doctor of Ministry Degree: The Doctor of Ministry program is modular for those who are successfully engaged in ministry. Building upon the M.Div. degree or its equivalent, this program integrates active ministry, academic endeavor, and disciplined reflection.
Program Objectives
The Doctor of Ministry program prepares students for a life as a Christian servant and leader. The program has a fourfold purpose:
- to complement a student’s ministry by exposing him to fresh ideas and lively interchange of ministry concepts with others in active service;
- to provide high-quality training in the practical application of his knowledge of the Word of God;
- to give him a proper understanding of and appreciation for the Scriptures as the inerrant, infallible, and authoritative Word of God; and
- to give him a proper understanding of himself in relation to Almighty God and God’s Word as a redeemed sinner who has become a son. The graduate will be able to “rightly divide the Word of Truth” and make his knowledge productive in evangelizing the lost and edifying the saints.
In addition to the General Admission Requirements, the student must have completed three years of post-M.Div. vocational ministry experience. A significant portion should be after the completion of the M.Div. Please contact the Seminary Office for further details.
Master of Divinity Degree: The Master of Divinity program prepares students for active ministry. Building on a strong foundation of Bible-content course work, training is supplemented by additional tools to aid those in the pastorate. This program aims at the student’s acquisition of sound tools for studying the Scriptures. Comprehensive coverage coupled with technical skills is a hallmark of this curriculum. A unique feature of the Seminary’s M.Div. program is the opportunity to gain training in practical Christian school applications to prepare the graduate for a well-rounded ministry.
Study for the Master of Divinity includes mastery of a field of knowledge combined with close attention to personal spiritual growth. A minimum of 96 credit hours beyond the bachelor’s degree is required for the M.Div. Degree
