M.Div. Application

Each applicant must present to the Seminary Director of Admissions the following credentials no later than two months prior to the semester in which the work is to begin.

1. An application fee (non-refundable). This fee must accompany the application.


2. An application fee (non-refundable). This fee must accompany the application.


3. A letter from applicant’s wife (if married) giving an account of her conversion, her feelings about her husband entering full-time Christian service, and her willingness to abide by the regulations of the Seminary.


4. Official transcripts of all work beyond high school level. The applicant must request the school(s) to send the transcript(s) directly to the Seminary admissions office. If you supply a stamped, addressed envelope, it will expedite sending the transcript(s).


5. Confidential Report of Academic Standing. Give this, along with an addressed, stamped envelope, to the registrar or dean of the last school from which you graduated (college if M.Div. or M.Min. applicant, seminary if Th.M. applicant).


6. When the application is received, the Seminary will send reference forms to the three people given on the application: pastor or church official, former professor, employer or professional acquaintance.


7. The admissions committee reviews each applicant’s papers, and the applicant will be notified of its action. Admission to the Seminary is limited to those who show evidence that they have been born again, are committed to the will of God for their lives, are endowed with gifts needed for Christian ministry vocations, and share the doctrinal convictions taught in the Seminary. Race or ethnic origin are not factors in consideration for applicants.
