Overview

The Divinity - Community Chaplaincy MDiv program from the Liberty University is designed to take you outside of the typical ministry setting and receive guidance under a Liberty-trained mentor. You will learn to better engage with peers, formulate your calling to chaplaincy from your faith tradition, and articulate the core values of your spiritual heritage and theological understanding.

Throughout the you will receive all the training your need to be a spiritual leader – the same training that is required of pastors, Christian ministry associates, and parachurch administrators. You will take courses that cover biblical leadership, world religions, expository preaching, theology, and more. Upon successful completion of this program, you will be able to:

Develop a global Great Commission perspective that demonstrates the proclamation and application of the Gospel and disciple-making process.
Examine major critical issues in the Old and New Testaments from a conservative evangelical perspective while exhibiting knowledge of the literature appropriate to the discipline of biblical studies.
Examine theological positions on key doctrinal questions and issues in Christian thought.
