School of Theology & Christian Ministries


Welcome!

I would like to invite you to explore the diverse landscape of degree programs that we offer in philosophy and religion. Our philosophy degree is designed to prepare students for further graduate studies in law, philosophy, and ethics. Our religion degrees are designed to help students engage the ancient truths of Scripture and apply them to ministry in a postmodern world.

Our experienced faculty are committed to helping our students explore God’s call and direction in their lives, to deepen their spiritual growth, and to help them engage the world with the love of Christ. All of our faculty members are actively involved in ministry and are interested in helping our students achieve their vocational calling and goals.

We are also investing heavily in the equipping of pastors and church leaders around the world. Our faculty members are committed to teach worldwide in many places and online. We also provide opportunities for our students to serve in cross-cultural ministries. A key component of our ministry preparation is found on the Internet, with seven fully online graduate degrees in religion:

  • Master of Divinity: Christian Education;
  • Master of Arts in Christian Education;
  • Master of Divinity: Missional Leadership;
  • Master of Arts in Missional Leadership;
  • Master of Arts in Pastoral Ministry;
  • Master of Divinity: Spiritual Formation; and
  • Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation.

We also offer non-certificate programs in both English and Spanish in the Nazarene Course of Study for Ministers. All of these programs are designed to equip those serving the Church and to advance the Kingdom of God.

Graduates of both our undergraduate and graduate programs serve in ministry as pastors, missionaries, teachers, educators, chaplains, youth ministers, and church planters around the globe. If you sense that God is calling you to invest your life in the Kingdom of God, then our undergraduate, graduate, or course of study programs can prepare you to engage the world with the gospel of Jesus Christ.

We invite you to visit our campus and talk with our faculty personally regarding your future in ministry, or drop me a note by clicking on my photo above.

Sincerely,



Dr. Mark Maddix
