Bachelor of Theology Completion Program:

The B.Th. Completion program is designed for diploma grads who are active in ministry as pastors, evangelists, missionaries, or laypeople and are looking to grow in ministry knowledge and skills and/or work towards the completion of their Bachelor of Theology degree.  The emphasis in the program is to further develop self -awareness in ministry leading to ongoing learning and skill development.  Particular attention will be given to understanding the unfolding nature of the call to and practice of ministry.  The program is constructed to provide relevant ministry education, flexibility for the active person in ministry and accessibility.

Admission Requirements:

Applicants are required to have a ministerial diploma from Master's College and Seminary or equivalent (with transcript evaluation by the Registrar). The applicant must also have earned their diploma at least three years prior to enrollment in the Bachelor of Theology Completion Program.

Program Requirements: 

The B.Th Completion Program requires the completion of ten courses. One of these courses will be PR4307 Personal Ministry Development. This course will be used to determine if a student can be credited with up to three courses based on their previous ministry/life experience (Alternatively students may receive transfer credit for up to three courses completed at an accredited institution with transcript evaluation by the Registrar.). The remaining courses, which will reflect a range of instruction relevant to grads in active ministry, will be taken on an elective basis with at least one course taken from each of the following categories: Bible, Theology, Practical Ministry and General Studies. Courses may be completed at the Toronto campus; as one-week intensives, which may be held throughout eastern Canada; via the Internet; or in conjunction with conferences or conventions.

The Personal Ministry Development Course: 

PR4307 Personal Ministry Development is designed to assist the person in ministry in assessing their life and ministry experience as a prelude for future personal development.  The focus of this course is the assembling of a personal ministry portfolio that will indicate past ministry training and experience as well as personal development and spiritual formation.  The portfolio will serve the basis for prior learning assessment and mapping future learning.  Prior learning assessment is a way of evaluating past ministry experience that allows the College to determine the extent to which prior ministry involvement corresponds to the objectives of the program.  This course must be one of the first three courses taken in the program.

Program Duration:

The program may be completed in approximately two years based on receiving maximum credit for life and ministry experience and/or receiving transfer credits for previous post-secondary courses completed and by taking one course in each of the Fall, Winter, and Summer sessions each year.  The College will provide academic support and advice to each student in the program to help them progress through the program on a schedule they can manage.
