Master of Divinity (MDiv)
As the professional degree for pastoral ministry, the Master of Divinity program at Multnomah Biblical Seminary is designed to provide professional training in pastoral and related fields for those planning a lifetime of ministry. Graduates will be able to articulate their calling, effectively communicate God’s Word, lead God’s people and provide pastoral care.
The Master of Divinity program focuses on two points in its educational philosophy — Christ and the Bible. Commitment to Jesus and God’s Word go hand in hand.
The program begins with a biblical and theological foundation and develops skills in the areas of biblical languages, exegesis, communication, community development, preaching, discipleship, mentoring, pastoral care and leadership.
Individual and community-centered spiritual formation is critical to lifelong growth and ministry. The MDiv gives careful attention to this area of formation to ensure that each student has a strong foundation to build upon their future in ministry.
