Seminary

MCS is pleased to offer multiple Master’s-level programs through two distinct seminaries:

Master's Pentecostal Seminary
Horizon Seminary
Master's Pentecostal Seminary

Under the expert oversight of Dr. Van Johnson, Master’s Pentecostal Seminary (MPS) has partnered with Tyndale Seminary to invite students to deepen their understanding of Pentecostalism in an intellectually and faith-formative way. With classes accessible both in person and online, the MPS-Tyndale partnership enables students to earn a Graduate Diploma in Pentecostal Studies, an MTS in Pentecostal Studies, or an MDiv with a minor/concentration in Pentecostalism.
