Founded by a group of Christian leaders from across the US, Ignite University and Seminary was established to help men and women of God reach their educational goals in order to move more fully into their calling. Our flexible and affordable online graduate programs provide a solid foundation for any biblical ministry.

Whether you are preparing for your first ministry position or rising to a new ministry level, you will find our Master of Divinity Program to be relevant, intellectually challenging and spiritually transformative. And once earned, the Doctorate of Ministries is flexible and easily within reach.

Master of Divinity― 72 credit hrs

BIBLCAL INTERPRETATION & PREACHING— Since this is the heart of ministry, IUS is vigilant in offering strong but straightforward curriculum in hermeneutics, exegesis and preaching, with 8 courses to be offered. Digging deep yields both truth and treasures!

THEOLOGY & CHURCH HISTORY— Correct biblical doctrine and its historical development is an essential and core stabilizer to the faith, and can be unexpectedly fascinating and relevant. Especially important also, is our commitment to exposing students to a diversity of scholarly perspectives while maintaining core Christian tenets.

ETHICS & LEADERSHIP— Innovative leadership skills can revolutionize a ministry, but ethical confusion can tear it apart. Today’s ministers need to be equipped to dismantle stagnation, navigate contemporary issues, and meet ethical and moral challenges with courage.

FOCUS— IUS purposely emphasizes subject areas which enrollees tell us need shoring up or strengthening… such as Hermeneutics, World Religious Systems, Apologetics, Evangelism, Spiritual Freedom, Counseling, the Ministry of the Holy Spirit, and alternative Eschatological Perspectives.

TRANSFORMATION— While seminary in general tends to be highly educational, it’s our desire for students to experience transformation as well. IUS strives to provide such opportunity along the way.
