Master of Divinity – Chaplaincy
Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary’s Master of Divinity program is the standard professional degree for ministry. This 72-hour Master of Divinity prepares you to become a military chaplain or servant leader. As a student in the Master of Divinity program, you will learn to be a wise, faithful steward of the gospel while developing specific ministry skills, strategies and Christian character traits relevant for successful ministry in a military or institutional chaplaincy setting. In this program you will examine the theological and cultural issues relevant for formal and informal chaplaincy settings. You will also observe the similarities and differences among the various types of chaplaincies, giving careful attention to ministry in religiously pluralistic, multicultural and multi-staff environments. Some of these settings may include service as a military chaplain or in corrections facilities/prisons, geriatric/eldercare homes, emergency response arenas, hospitals and workplace/industrial settings.

“I’m simply amazed by Liberty University Online and how well it has fit into my ever-changing life. Because of its format, I’m able to study, turn in assignments and complete classes even when I have to travel. I was able to go on the Israel trip this past January. I was able to go see my family in Los Angeles for three weeks in February, and I’ll be able to go on my church’s mission trip in June. I wouldn’t be able to do these things if I were in traditional classes. Lord willing, I’ll be going on active duty next year as a chaplain in the Navy, and I know that no matter where I’m stationed I’ll still be able to pursue my next degree with Liberty. Thanks, Liberty, for making it possible for me to attend seminary and pursue my degree.”
