2 Master of Divinity (M.Div.) United Theological Seminary recruits and educates dynamic, Spirit-led leaders who will renew the church for the mission of Jesus Christ in the world. We are committed to teaching the Bible and the historic Christian faith, instilling a passion for personal and social holiness, and renewing the Church for its ministry and mission. United s Master of Divinity degree prepares students to enter ministry as ordained religious leaders or as lay professional ministers. We emphasize bible, theology, ethics, evangelism, preaching and worship, ministry formation, church history, pastoral care and church renewal. Our program meets the requirements for ordination in most denominations. United s M.Div. includes both academic and practical disciplines, along with the intentional worship and community life necessary for personal and professional development in ministry. Our hope is that because of United, you will be more attuned to the Holy Spirit and more engaged in Christ s ministry in the world.
