McMaster Divinity College

MDC is an evangelical, university-based seminary located in Hamilton, ON, Canada that offers professional and research theological programs. Our mission is to develop effective evangelical Christian leaders for the church, academy, and society through university-level education, professional training, and ongoing support. In order to achieve our mission, McMaster Divinity College has committed itself to the transformational paradigm of "Knowing…Being…Doing…" as the basis of both our professional and research degree programs. All of our courses impart a body of knowledge (knowing) that enhances our students' understanding, insight, and perspective on the important issues of the Christian faith. We are convinced, however, that education must push beyond the informational to the formational (being) and result in an inner transformation, where all members of the learning community are conformed to Christ's image. This paradigm of education includes advanced vocational competencies (doing) so that graduates from our degree programs are equipped for what will be required of them as they move from graduation to their chosen ministry vocation.
