Develop your biblical knowledge and preaching skills
Available in-person, online, the Master of Divinity program from MTS helps you develop your biblical expertise, acquire advanced preaching skills, grow in your ministry leadership, and communicate God’s word to people in various cultural contexts. In this ATS-accredited degree you’ll study Hebrew, Greek, Bible analysis, biblical and systematic theology, pastoral practices, church history, ministry leadership, and narrative preaching. The dynamic course content will invigorate your ministry passions as you develop your knowledge of Scripture.
Program update for fall 2024: Earn the same world-class degree in a shorter amount of time. We have restructured our MDiv programs to reduce the credit hours from 87 to 72 while maintaining the depth, quality, and course content essential for success in ministry. A shorter but no less rigorous program allows students to graduate faster and continue their work in ministry with the strength of an MTS education behind them.
The programs also feature new capstone experiences to help apply what you’ve learned to real-world settings.
