At Westminster Seminary California, we teach that the Word of God is living and active, and is still the greatest need of the world today. Therefore, we seek to educate and form candidates for official, ordained ministries of instruction and leadership in the church as pastors, evangelists, teachers, and missionaries. In this program, we prepare graduates to rightly divide and proclaim the Word of truth—bringing God’s Word to God’s people, and thus equip the body of Christ to carry the gospel of Christ into the world.
Our MDiv program is a 3–4 year and 110 credit program. Students will focus their studies in the areas of practical theology, biblical languages, and systematic theology. For more information, see the degree program outline below.
