Announcing the Master of Divinity Program at the Reformed Universalist Theological Seminary

 

The Reformed Universalist Theological Seminary (RUTS) is pleased to announce the forthcoming release of our Master of Divinity (M.Div.) program — a comprehensive course of study designed to prepare pastors, theologians, and scholars within the framework of Covenant Universalism.

Our M.Div. curriculum integrates the rigor of classical Reformed theology with the hope of universal restoration, training students to think covenantally, exegete faithfully, and minister effectively in a world longing for truth and reconciliation.

🔹 Projected Th.D. Dissertation Program

Graduates holding an M.Div. (or equivalent theological master’s degree) will be eligible to apply to the forthcoming Doctor of Theology (Th.D.) program, currently in development.

This advanced research degree will guide candidates through the preparation and defense of a doctoral dissertation in a chosen field of systematic, biblical, or historical theology — with a special emphasis on the Reformed Universalist perspective.

Doctoral students will work under the direct supervision of the faculty and contribute to ongoing theological scholarship that reaffirms the sovereignty, justice, and ultimate triumph of God’s covenant grace.

🔹 Our Vision

The Reformed Universalist Theological Seminary exists to proclaim the faith once delivered to the saints — grounded in the great Reformation solas:
Sola Scriptura, Sola Gratia, Sola Fide, Solus Christus, Soli Deo Gloria.

Yet we also affirm the ancient Christian hope that “God will be all in all” (1 Cor. 15:28).
Our mission is to train a new generation of ministers and scholars who will boldly declare the full triumph of divine love and justice in Christ.
