Students choose from three specialist tracks:

  • Biblical Studies: Advanced Scripture exegesis, hermeneutics, and biblical-theological study geared toward teaching, preaching, or doctoral preparation.
  • Pastoral Leadership: Practical emphases on leadership, preaching, and discipleship strategies aimed at pastors, church planters, and local church leaders.
  • Theological Studies: Systematic theology, historical theology, ethics, and engagement with contemporary theological issues for those pursuing academic teaching or research.

Admission requires a bachelor’s degree from a regionally accredited institution and official transcripts from all previously attended schools. Applicants must meet a minimum GPA of 2.5 and typically submit two letters of recommendation (academic or ministry references) plus a personal statement outlining ministry goals and reasons for pursuing the M.Th. An interview may be requested based on application materials.

Career prospects

Graduates are prepared for roles in church and academy. The programme lists common outcomes such as church pastor or associate pastor, ministry or denominational leadership, seminary or Bible college instruction, authorship or public speaking in theological contexts, and progression to doctoral study (Ph.D. or D.Min.).
