The MA in Theology (Divinity) & PhD in Christian Leadership & Business is an integrated dual-degree program designed to prepare servant leaders with deep theological grounding and advanced doctoral training in Christian leadership and business. This program equips students to unite biblical theology, ministry wisdom, and executive leadership competence for faithful influence in churches, organizations, and the marketplace. Growth and development are emphasized through theological reflection, leadership formation, and applied scholarly research rooted in a Christ-centered worldview.
This program is designed for pastors, ministry executives, Christian business leaders, nonprofit directors, educators, and organizational leaders who sense a calling to combine theological depth with strategic leadership and business excellence. Students are prepared to lead complex organizations with integrity, vision, and spiritual discernment.

Areas of focus include organizational leadership, executive decision-making, ethics, governance, innovation, and faith-based business strategy. Growth and development occur as students learn to integrate theology with leadership understanding, aligning mission, values, and operations in diverse ministry and business contexts.
