TEDS’ Master of Divinity (MDiv) provides comprehensive biblical, theological, cultural, and practical training to those desiring preparation for Christian ministerial or academic leadership, all within the context of a broadly evangelical ethos.
Whether you desire an immersive academic experience on campus or choose to continue in your current ministry and take courses online, you will be prepared in Scripture interpretation, theology, pastoral practices, leadership, preaching, and spiritual formation.
MDiv alumni have gone on to a wide variety of vocational pursuits, including pastors, denominational leaders, scholars, authors, community development leaders, and missionary workers in many different contexts to engage the world for Christ.
“My life will be different because I attended TEDS. I am incredibly grateful for the wisdom of my faculty advisors, who helped me discern God’s ministry path for me.”

Why TEDS?
Trinity has been entrusted with the Gospel since 1897, and every day we are called to live with purpose. Our purpose as a divinity school is to know the Gospel, live the Gospel and make the Gospel known. In today’s ever-changing culture, Trinity immerses students in a community of biblical orthodoxy and practical living. The Trinity faculty is among the most widely published in evangelical academia and has deeply influenced the leaders shaping the present and future of evangelical Christianity across the globe.
Academic Excellence
Our professors will not only teach you but invest in your life. Hear from Dr. Simons, Director of MDiv, and faculty how the Master of Divinity prepares you for your academic and ministry goals.
Study with the Authors
Experience a classroom setting like none other. At Trinity, you will study under leading theologians, experts, and renowned authors in their specific field. Our professors will not only teach you but invest in your life.
“The world needs right-minded and right-hearted pastor-theologians and I can’t imagine doing anything more important than training students to teach doctrine in ways that make disciples, form citizens of the gospel, and build up local churches. Nor is there anywhere better to do it than TEDS—a veritable microcosm of global evangelicalism.”
