The Master of Divinity program, whose purpose is to train students in the Word of God and to train them to become faithful minister in the Church of Christ, equips students with the Reformed worldview, trains them to correctly interpret God’s Word, nurtures them to grow in the grace of our Lord Jesus and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, help them to be skillful at applying the Word of God in every area of ministry, and to become “all to all” in the context of the life and the culture of the congregation.
The program requires three years of full-time study, and is designed to provide a basic professional foundation for the entry-level pastoral position within the Christian ministry. The graduate will acquire the professional competence necessary for serving as a pastor, missionary, chaplain, campus ministry director, associate pastor, ministry-related counselor, evangelist, religious-subject instructor, or similar professions.
Having completed the MDiv degree program, students will have demonstrated:
- a personal and spiritual formation that is foundational to Christian life and pastoral ministry (e.g., the sophistication of Christian identity, growth in personal faith, Christian lifestyle, a vocational conviction for ministry, and moral integrity);
- an ability to read and interpret the Bible (Old and New Testaments) in its contexts and with the Reformed biblical hermeneutical principles, relate the Biblical truths to personal and public spheres of life and ministry, and preach or teach the Bible Christocentrically and in its redemptive-historical context;
- an ability to articulate the Christian doctrines and traditions and address contemporary societal, cultural, and theological issues with biblical, Reformed theological perspectives;
- intercultural competency to understand and engage with the people embracing other religious traditions and worldviews to communicate to them the Christian gospel effectively;
- ministerial skills to serve as a pastoral or congregational leader or function leadership roles in other life settings with a commitment to the Lordship of Christ over every realm of life.
