The Master of Divinity (MDiv) is a robust programme that provides training for pastoral leaders.

These trained pastoral leaders will be nurtured to minister and equip Christians, who in turn are called to minister both in the church and the marketplace.

MDiv graduates will become skilled pastoral stewards who effectively expound Scripture, engage Christian tradition, and draw on interdisciplinary studies.

The MDiv is right for you if:

• You are looking for a robust programme with breadth and depth to be better equipped to serve
• You want to be more thoroughly equipped as a pastoral leader
• You are considering a leadership position within your church or in other ministries
