Master Of Divinity
The Master of Divinity (MDiv) program prepares students for professional pastoral ministry in Canada and around the world. This highly regarded degree sets the standard for those preparing for a credentialed ministry position in many denominational settings. By providing both depth and breadth in biblical studies, theology and pastoral studies you will be well equipped to step into a variety of pastoral roles. Engage with faculty as you learn in an environment that both teaches and models the academic, spiritual and practical aspects of ministry life.
An internship is the best way to get ready for ministry. During your internship experience, you’ll work alongside and be mentored by experienced ministry staff. As you apply the learning from your classes, you’ll develop practical skills and competencies for your future in ministry.
There are two possible specializations in the Master of Divinity:
- Pastoral Ministry
- Intercultural Ministry
