ADVANCED SEMINARY PROGRAMS
For students with previous educational background and ministerial experience, GCTSA’s Seminary Division offers advanced pathways toward formal seminary credentials.

This degree carries the full weight of seminary-level scholarship and is designed for those called to vocational ministry, church planting, or advanced theological teaching.
The student who enrolls into our M.Div. program understands this is a 3 year commitment – with a new year’s enrollment due after each previous year is completed.
