The Master of Divinity is an 81-hour program designed to prepare pastors, missionaries and other Christian workers for a life of effective Kingdom service. Students receive academic and practical training in areas such as Biblical Studies, Christian history, missions, theology and applied ministry. We recommend online students pursue the Christian Ministry focus because it provides a large number of elective hours and is designed to afford students flexibility in their degree program.

The Master of Arts in Christian Studies is a 39-hour program that provides a graduate level introduction to the theological disciplines. The degree is designed to prepare students for further graduate study or for general educational purposes.

This degree is designed to equip students to serve on the staff of a local church or another ministry organization in non-senior pastoral roles. It is comprised of the vocational MA Core plus 12 hours of EQUIP selectives. The 12 hours of selective courses MUST be completed as EQUIP courses taken in an approved EQUIP church or ministry organization. All remaining hours may be taken in the format of the student’s choosing, including online. 

The Doctor of Ministry is a 3-year advanced degree designed for ministers seeking further training to serve at a new level of excellence in ministry. Throughout the 31-hour degree, students will acquire new ideas, tools, strategies and techniques that will increase effectiveness and expand opportunities within current and future roles.
