For The Church Cohorts

Theological Studies

Where you study theology matters as much as what you study.

Join the Theological Studies Cohort at Midwestern Seminary and go deeper into systematic theology and applied theology alongside students and faculty who will push your thinking while you prepare for your calling.

This cohort connects students pursuing an MDiv (Master of Divinity) with peers and leading faculty for a richer, more immersive theological education.

Here, theology isn’t just studied; it’s practiced. You’ll sharpen your grasp of doctrine, strengthen your sense of calling, and learn to apply theology directly to the life of the local church.

Cohort students study tuition-free, earning a 100% tuition discount for up to 18 on-campus credit hours in your first year.

If you’re ready to pursue your MDiv, this is your next step.

Deepen your theology. Strengthen your ministry. Contact our Admissions team today to secure your place in the upcoming cohort.

Gather each week with Dr. Kurtz and your cohort community to consider and discuss how the historical doctrine of our faith can be applied to the Church and ministry today.
