Overview

This Master of Divinity programme from Liberty University can provide you the chance to help others and give them insight into Scripture and to help them find God’s plan for their life. This degree is primarily focused on preparing you for working in a church or parachurch organization, but with the multidisciplinary field of study, it can also help prepare you for many different types of occupations such as teaching, writing, and family advocacy.

Highlights

Cutting-Edge Homiletics and Teaching Lab - The School of Divinity features a state-of-the-art homiletics and teaching lab designed to help prepare you for effective preaching and teaching. This hands-on space allows you to develop your communication skills in a realistic and supportive environment – helping you grow in both confidence and clarity as a ministry leader.

The Scriptorium – A Treasure of Christian Heritage - Located within the School of Divinity, the Scriptorium is home to the Rawlings Foundation collection, featuring rare books valued at over $1 million. Highlights include a 111-foot-long Torah scroll dating back to the 16th century and a fully functioning replica of the Gutenberg Printing Press – offering a unique connection to the historical roots of the Christian faith.

A Window into the Past - The Scriptorium is more than a display – it’s an immersive educational experience. By exploring these artifacts firsthand, you can gain deeper insight into the development of biblical texts and the legacy of Christian scholarship throughout the centuries.

Real-World Ministry Experience - Liberty University believes that ministry preparation goes beyond the classroom, and that’s why we provide experiential opportunities through partnerships with local churches and para-church ministries. Whether you’re preaching, teaching, discipling, or serving, it is important that you'll be equipped to make a real impact in real-world ministry contexts.
