Master's International University of Divinity was founded on March 31, 1999

Our Pioneering Heritage

Our pioneering heritage has its roots in the history of Christian Education Enterprises, Inc. CEE. Inc. was established in 1979 as a Biblical higher education initiative promoting global access to Theological distance education. Sponsored, and directed by CEE Inc., MIUD was initially formulated in 1996, and officially launched in 1999 as America's first fully online Divinity School.

Since that time, MIUD has matured into a unique University of Divinity with a transdenominational and international reach. Through five distinct schools, we provide a wide range of conservative evangelical Biblical ministry study programs. These programs are designed to strengthen and expand the mental and spiritual tools of those who serve, or wish to prepare for service, in Christian ministry.

Our Mission

To provide online Biblically faithful ministry education programs to individuals whom God has called into His service.
To keep such programs on the cutting edge of technology.
To deliver our programs in a way that compliments the opportunity to continue serving in the ministry in which they are called by God.

Our Purpose

To promote a servant culture of Christian ministry.
To provide the God-called individual innovative, and practical ministry education programs that enhance his or her skills as a worker in their field of service.
To promote Biblical education as a means for more effective service rather than a means of obtaining, prestige, position or personal advantage.

In keeping with our mission and purpose, certificate, diploma and degree programs are designed for the exclusive application of Christian ministry, and are not intended to qualify for or meet any secular position, occupation or preparation for secular examination or licensure.

Our Core Belief

In the Gospels, there are many references to the touch of Jesus bringing healing and wholeness to the otherwise helpless and hopeless. One of those beautiful references tells of a desperately hopeless leper shunned by all but our Lord. The physician Luke recorded the result of the touch of the Master's hand in 15:13 of his account of the life and times of Jesus. "And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, 'I am willing; be cleansed.' And immediately the leprosy left him."

Our core belief is that there is only one thing that can bring healing and wholeness into the life of every human being no matter their situation or condition, and that is the touch of the Master's hand. That's why every program, and every course in every program is purposefully designed to honor our Lord Jesus Christ. Learning to touch the lives of others as if we were the hands of Jesus is why we study more, to be more, to do more like the Master. "Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ" (II Corinthians 5:20).

ENCOURAGEMENT TO CONSIDER TUITION ASSISTANCE FOR A QUALIFIED PASTOR OR CHRISTIAN WORKER

If a pastor or staff member from your church or ministry organization is considering continuing ministry education through Master's International University of Divinity, I strongly encourage you to carefully and prayerfully read this letter.

As I am sure you will agree, the call of God to serve in Christian ministry is the most noble of all callings and one of the most demanding in terms of education. The call to Christian service is a call to the perpetual study of the Word of God and related subjects.

Our University specializes in ministry education for individuals serving in ministry. Our online education programs do not take pastors or other Christian workers out of ministry in order to train them for a more effective ministry, instead, we take our programs to those serving in ministry through the best practices of online adult education.

Therefore, the degree program that your pastor or Christian worker is considering is an investment that will result in a more effective and rewarding ministry to your entire church and ministry organization, and investment is the right term.

Our degree programs are designed to interface with real life, and as such, require that our students merge academic studies with practical results. To do this, they make a significant investment in study, prayer, and daily application of the knowledge they are gaining. In other words, what is learned through each course is poured right back into their ministry every day!

Your pastor or Christian worker understands this and accepts the serious responsibility referred to by the Apostle Paul in his challenge to Timothy. "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth" (II Timothy 2:15 NASV).

However, for many faithful pastors and Christian workers, the only thing hindering that willingness is the hard reality of the cost of tuition, and even though the tuition at Master's is very reasonable, for many, it may still be outside of a balanced budget.

This is where you can help. Why not make an investment in your pastor's or Christian worker’s continuing ministry education? More and more churches and ministry organizations are coming to realize the importance of helping their key personnel in this vital area.

Many of our students (most are pastors or individuals serving in other forms of Christian ministry) are completing powerfully effective degree programs because of the thoughtfulness of the Governing Board.

Actually, we know that most Christian organizations want to help in this way. The difficulty is in getting the pastor or Christian worker to present the idea to their leadership. This is because pastors and most other Christian workers are accustomed to giving, and as a result asking is not easy.

Therefore, we are taking that first step for them. We are asking you to prayerfully review the program that your pastor or Christian worker is considering, and take the lead in making that all-important investment of tuition assistance.

For more information, you may contact us directly by calling 1-800-933-1445 or 1-812-471-0611 or directly online. When you call or fill out the online contact form, ask to speak with an Admissions Advisor. You will be glad that you did, and your entire ministry will be blessed!

Sincerely in the Service of the Master.
