Our mission is to provide quality programs at a time and place convenient
for you. The Master of Divinity (M.Div.) program provides the solid
foundation you'll need if your goal is ordination to pastoral ministry. It
is also excellent preparation if you desire a hospital or military
chaplaincy, a cross-cultural mission, youth ministry, or further graduate
study and teaching.
Courses in Bible, systematic theology, church history, Christian education,
ethics, worship and preaching, counseling and administration are basic. You
may also elect courses in your area of special interest including urban
ministry.
At NBTS, you learn ministry by doing it. Under the guidance of a trained
pastor/supervisor, you may work with a congregation, social service agency
or overseas mission. Reflection groups help you think theologically about
your pastoral identity and ministry experiences in church and society. The
Master of Arts in Theology (M.A.) program offers theological studies and
university course work if your goal is a Christian vocation without
pastoral ordination.
At NBTS you don't have to quit your job or neglect your family to prepare
for ministry. We offer you the option of a complete M.Div. or M.A. program
through night courses during the fall, spring and summer. If you live in
New York City, Long Island or Connecticut, you need not travel further than
St. John's University in Jamaica, Queens, where we offer these courses in
the evening. Either way, we're available to help you answer God's call.
