Master of Divinity in Messianic Jewish Studies
Chosen People Ministries has partnered with Biola University’s graduate school, Talbot School of Theology, to provide the Master of Divinity in Messianic Jewish Studies. This program is designed to inspire, equip, and send students into the harvest on a strategic mission to reach Jewish people for the Messiah. The program provides training and preparation for a variety of professional ministries that serve the Jewish community in roles such as Messianic congregational leadership, outreach, missionary work, or education. It includes opportunities for specialized study of the Bible and theological reflection with a focus on aspects of Jewish studies.
Credits

- A residency opportunity in Brooklyn may be available to qualified online students.
