Whole-person formation

More than information.

Theological education should shape the way a student reads, worships, thinks, leads, listens, and serves.

Read Scripture in its literary, historical, canonical, and theological contexts.

02

Theological clarity

Engage Christian doctrine and the historic witness of the global church with rigor and charity.

03

Spiritual formation

Join academic learning with prayer, character, discernment, and growth in Christ.

04

Ministry practice

Bring faithful theological judgment into churches, ministries, workplaces, and communities.

04

Graduate

When every requirement group is complete, your electronic degree and permanent verification record are issued automatically.

One examination per degree

A single qualifying examination.

Your degree is assessed by one Program Qualifying Examination. 30 questions are drawn from a 70-question program bank, you have 60 minutes, and you may submit as soon as you are ready. Every repeat sitting draws a new paper.

Ministry experience, weighted

Your service is part of the result.

The paper is not read on its own. Your documented years of pastoral, missionary, teaching, chaplaincy, worship, counselling, or lay service are assessed alongside it and weighted into one final result.
