Curriculum
The M.Div. degree is designed to be completed in at least three years: in the Fall, Winter and Spring. Six-week Summer terms are required for those on the UFBL Track.
The curriculum emerges from the Seminary’s identity as one founded in the New Thought Christian community of the UFBL. It aims to lead students to a new understanding of the place of New Thought Christianity as the mystical tradition of Christianity and its relationship to the teachings of Jesus.
The curriculum is designed to foster in the student a deeper personal and spiritual understanding. The program is offered fully online. It also offers an opportunity for field placements and internships.
The program of instruction seeks to assist students in developing the following:
-
Proficiency in identifying the biblical, theological, and historical traditions which form the basis of ministry.
-
Proficiency in scriptural interpretation and application.
-
Personal spiritual growth and formation.
-
Knowledge of the various trends and challenges facing the faith community, and becoming proactive in addressing those challenges.
-
Awareness of the role that spiritual leaders and faith-communities have in matters of social advocacy.
"My experience as a student of the Johnnie Colemon Theological Seminary has been one of intellectual, spiritual and personal growth. I am grateful to have the opportunity of being among the first group of students to enroll and to be taught by such wonderful and knowledgeable professors."
