MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN

A

God has entrusted the Church to spread His Word and bring glory to His name. The School of Divinity is passionate about empowering the Church to make a difference in the world. Everything we offer is designed to work in conjunction with local churches to help them carry out the Great Commission.

Our degree programs and academic centers continue to develop new and innovative approaches to accomplish this mission. We have launched five new degree programs this year, including the M.A. in Church Planting and the M.A. in Humanitarian Action and Human Rights, designed to equip students passionate about helping people experiencing times of crisis and need. In addition, we launched two new Ph.D. programs. The Ph.D. in Applied Apologetics and the Ph.D. in Practical Theology are offered in 100% online formats, providing flexibility and high-level training for students interested in pursuing a research doctorate.

Our faculty members have been working to increase engagement within the online classroom. Many of these enhancements come through a regular review of our courses, which includes feedback from professors and students on content and effectiveness. This allows us to remain strategically relevant to the needs of church leaders and faithfully prepared for our ministry calling.
