Questions
What applicants ask first
Do I need to know Greek or Hebrew already?
No. Greek I and Hebrew I start from the alphabet. About half our MDiv students had never seen either.
Can I do the whole MDiv in the evenings?
Yes. Every required course is offered in the evening at least once every two years, and we publish the rotation so you can plan five years ahead.
Is Kingsbury accredited?
Yes, by a recognised theological accrediting body, and our degrees are accepted for ordination by most mainline and evangelical denominations in Indiana.
I don't have a bachelor's degree.
The Certificate in Pastoral Ministry does not require one, and up to 24 of its credits can later count toward an MDiv under our bivocational pathway.
Sit in on Greek I or Preaching the Gospels
Any evening this term, with supper beforehand if you come on a Thursday.
