Some students choose this program to enhance their academic qualifications for post-graduate or doctoral studies. Other students choose this program primarily to extend their preparation for ministry in a local church, on the mission field or in other positions of denominational service. The ThM is designed to build leaders through personal mentoring by the faculty and through advanced study.

I absolutely loved studying in the Master of Theology program. After finishing a master's degree, it was the perfect next step to dive deeper into an area of study that I was interested in. I loved being able to take more specialized classes that I wouldn't otherwise have taken as part of my initial master's degree, and I learned so much through the process of researching and writing.
