Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning. (Prov. 9:9) Are you called to full-time ministry? Do you want solid biblical and theological training for ministry, but want to be involved in full-time ministry as soon as possible?
The Master of Divinity program is designed for men who seek standard preparation of a seminary-level education to prepare them to serve the Lord as a pastor, missionary, youth or assistant pastor, or for those who desire a camp ministry, campus ministry, Bible teaching, Bible literature work, or any other area of local church responsibility which is focused on communication of the Word of God. Maranatha Baptist Seminary's Master of Divinity program has also been approved for chaplain training by the Department of Defense.
Objective
• Students will demonstrate the ability to articulate and apply biblical and secular models of leadership to ministry context. • Students will demonstrate the ability to effectively communicate God's Word in both an interactive teaching venue and a public preaching setting. • Students will demonstrate the ability to effectively plan, organize, and deploy Gospel outreach and discipleship ministry programs for a typical small, medium, or large congregation. • Students will demonstrate the ability to display essential skills and knowledge of pastoral leadership and preaching through the production of an integrated project that includes a motivational sermon(s), a formal article, and a practical outline of a proposed program that would seek to address an issue, problem, or opportunity for improvement common to a typical Baptist church.
