Delivery Methods

Deploy
Deploy uses a competency-based theological education (CBTE) model delivered online and onsite within a ministry context at your local church. Those with prior education and life experience may master competencies and pass assessments faster than the average student allowing program completion at an accelerated pace.

Residential
Grace Theological Seminary is a graduate-level learning community dedicated to teaching, training, and transforming the whole person for local church and global ministry. This purpose is accomplished through quality equipping in a host of areas including biblical literature, original languages, theological systems, Christian history, global missions, leadership skills, spiritual formation, and Christian service.

Accelerated
Students preparing for ministry have the opportunity to pursue an accelerated track in which they can complete their bachelor’s degree in 3 years and their master’s degree in an additional 1 to 2 years. Through the Grace shared progress approach, students may earn their Bachelor’s and Master of Arts Degrees in 4 years, or their Bachelor’s and Master of Divinity Degrees in 5 years.

Hybrid Doctorate Degrees
Grace Theological Seminary’s hybrid Doctorate Degrees enable students to engage in ministry while completing a doctoral program in as little as three years.
