Description | The Master of Divinity program is particularly a means of preparing individuals for the service of Christ in Christian ministry as pastors in local congregations in Asia and the Pacific. The Master of Divinity program is a means of intellectual, professional and spiritual preparation of the student for responsibilities in the nurture and outreach of the church as an effective servant leader. At the same time, it is a means for the practice of Christian stewardship and service in an atmosphere of mutual respect and responsibility. Furthermore, it is a means for the development of a strong self-image as a minister of the gospel. Though the Master of Divinity is primarily intended for the preparation of pastoral leaders, some graduates may find themselves teaching in Bible or theological colleges. The degree provides solid background for teaching a wide variety of theological subjects, though graduates are urged to go on for further, more specialized education through the Master of Science in Theology or the Master of Theology, and beyond, if they intend to become college teachers. |
