The Master of Divinity
For Military Chaplaincy: Called to Shepherd Those Who Serve
The military remains a mission field where faithful pastoral ministry matters deeply. For generations, military chaplains have been called not merely to support morale, but to shepherd souls. As the Army Chaplain’s Manual affirmed in 1956, “the chaplain is the pastor and the shepherd of the souls entrusted to his care.”
The Master of Divinity (MDIV) at Luther Rice College & Seminary is designed to equip those shepherds with Scripture, theological depth, and pastoral clarity to faithfully minister among those who serve.
