Renewing Minds and Transforming Lives
Course Objective
During this course of study, students will learn the major concepts of the Divinity of God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit and their interrelationship. An examination of the method of biblical theology is followed by a discussion of how God reveals Himself through revelation. This course explores the teachings of the Old and New Testaments and shares discoveries that provide proof for the existence of God through Biblical studies and Archeology. The M.Div., program equips students with the knowledge, attitudes, and skills requisite for Christian ministry. The curriculum provides opportunities for growth in personal and spiritual maturity and moral integrity, knowledge of the church’s religious heritage founded in biblical revelation, historical context and development, and confessions and doctrine as these serve Christian ministry and leadership roles.
