The Master of Theology degree is not simply a teaching degree, though those who desire to teach at the college level will want to pursue it. The Th.M. program emphasizes intensified study of the Bible, theology, and related subjects. Those who complete the Th.M. degree can expect a broader and richer ministry in the Word of God wherever they may serve.

The program initiates students into the scholarly disciplines of research and writing, though at a less sustained level than they would encounter in an academic doctoral program. The Th.M. is the ideal program for students who desire more intense study beyond the standard ministerial degree, but who are not attracted to the more sustained rigors of the Th.D. or Ph.D.
