Getting ready to launch new program
We are telling everyone about the new 80-credit-hour Master of Divinity we plan to launch this fall--with an option for people to study at a distance. While we await final approval from the North Central Association, we are gathering names of people who are interested. Let us know if you want more information, or if you know someone who would fit this new study arrangement.
Explore an overview of the program and the two versions: MDiv Campus and MDiv Connect.
Listen to lectures
Quinton Dixie explored the importance of the stories that a congregation or denomination tells in shaping who they are and what they believe about themselves. Visit the iTunes U page on the AMBS site for links to recordings of all three sessions of this year's Theological Lectureship.
