Grace College

What you'll study

Coursework combines core M.Div. study with concentration modules that emphasize spiritual formation, teaching, leadership and ministry strategy. Curriculum examples listed by the seminary include:

• Expository Preaching and Teaching — methods for organizing and developing sermon content.
• Spiritual Formation — biblical and personal foundations for sanctification and growth.
• Ministry Administration — administrative principles and processes for effective church and parachurch leadership.
• Transformational Teaching — techniques for engaging learners and promoting life change.
• Leadership in the Local Church — servant leadership, mentoring, visionary leadership and leading change.

Entry requirements

Applicants are normally expected to hold a four‑year bachelor’s degree (or international equivalent) from a recognised institution. Graduates of Bible colleges, liberal arts colleges and state universities are encouraged to apply. Candidates with pre‑seminary GPAs below 2.5 or degrees from non‑accredited institutions may be admitted on academic restriction. Applicants without a bachelor’s degree may be considered if they meet specified ministry experience and research/writing requirements—prospective students should consult seminary admissions for details. Admission materials include official transcripts and a spiritual life reference; unofficial transcripts are acceptable for initial review if the degree is in progress. International applicants must provide TESOL test scores and financial certification for study.

Career prospects

The programme prepares graduates for a range of ministry roles where theological competence and practical leadership are required. Typical pathways include pastoral leadership, preaching and teaching, roles in Christian non‑profit or parachurch organisations, counselling and cross‑cultural ministry. The concentration emphasizes developing outreach and discipleship programmes and leadership skills for shepherding congregations or directing ministry organisations.
