This program forms scholar-practitioners who engage Scripture, theology, ethics, and culture at the highest level, anchored in biblical truth and open to the pressing questions of our time.
You won’t just read about theology, you’ll wrestle with it.
You’ll engage voices across centuries and traditions, explore how faith speaks into modern challenges, and sharpen your ability to teach, write, and lead with conviction and clarity.
- Pastors and ministry leaders seeking theological depth
- Scholars preparing for advanced theological contribution
- Leaders who want conviction without division
Students in the program are trained to think theologically at the highest level—grounded in the historic Christian tradition while engaging contemporary questions with academic honesty and biblical conviction. Rather than treating theology as abstract theory, the program emphasizes theology as a lived discipline that shapes teaching, ministry, leadership, and public witness.
Through a carefully structured curriculum and a guided dissertation process, students develop advanced skills in theological reasoning, critical analysis, scholarly writing, and ethical discernment. Graduates are equipped to teach, write, lead, and contribute meaningfully to the ongoing theological conversation of the Church
