WELCOME AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING!

OUR NAME tells a lot about us. In John 13:13 Jesus said, "Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am." That is why it is, Master's International School of Divinity. The terms "Divinity" and "School" make a clear statement related to the core of our mission and purpose. "Divinity" is defined as, theology, religious study, and "School" is defined as, educate, teach, prepare, instruct. This is why our name clearly expresses that we are an institution belonging to the Master, existing for the purpose of educating, teaching, preparing, and instructing within the disciplines of theology and religious study. IN AN HISTORICAL WAY the term Divinity School reflects an old and distinguished tradition. The Editors of the Dictionary of Christianity in America noted: "In preparing for the protestant ministry, [individuals] might study divinity under a learned minister or theologian. When Protestant seminaries arose in America in the early nineteenth century, these institutions were frequently called divinity schools." At Master's, we have connected this tradition with a concept of distance education that recognizes the practical requirements of continuing ministry training in today's world. IN A
CONTEMPORARY WAY we are an International School of Divinity.
Our current study body comes from seventy different world areas (from
American Samoa to Zimbabwe). One of the reasons for the
internationally appreciated value of this form of education is that the
open learning method allows you set your own timetable around the way you
live, making
OUR DEGREE PROGRAMS will appeal to mature and self-disciplined individuals who are primarily interested in the everyday realities of genuine Christian ministry. We are a Divinity School specifically designed for the adult learner. In addition, because we are a Christ-centered and Bible-based School of Divinity, we will likewise appeal to those who are most comfortable with the historic beliefs of the evangelical community. Our core commitment to the Scriptures is reflected well in "The Bible" inscription of Sir Walter Scott. THE CHURCH IS CALLING FOR ABLE LEADERSHIP and those who meet the challenge to serve need every advantage available. The worldly pressures being exerted upon the Church call for spiritually and doctrinally sound leaders. Therefore, we believe that ministry training is not merely an option, but a serious responsibility. If you believe such a responsibility has led you to consider further ministry education, we would very much appreciate an opportunity to present you with additional information.
