We are building the next chapter of Kingdom academia
Kingdom Theological Seminary is preparing to launch a new generation of master degree programs and doctoral degree programs. This is where scholarship meets calling, and where you can help build what comes next.
Every great work starts as a vision.
We believe the next wave of Kingdom leaders needs deeper academic ground to stand on.
Kingdom Theological Seminary was founded so leaders could grow in theological studies without giving up their calling to serve. Our partnership with Southeastern University already opens accredited seminary degree programs and graduate degree programs to students today.
Now we are looking further ahead. We are building new master degree programs and doctoral degree programs of our own, designed around Kingdom theology and shaped by real ministry practice. This is not a small update. It is a new season for KTS academia, and we want you to help build it with us.
What we are building toward
Three commitments guide every plan for our future graduate degree programs.
Deeper theological studies
Our future master degree programs will go further into Scripture, Kingdom theology, and church history, taught by scholars who have also led in ministry.
Doctoral level research
New doctoral degree programs will train leaders to research, write, and teach, so Kingdom theology keeps growing for the next generation.
Global impact
Every course is built so graduates can serve locally in Houston or carry Kingdom leadership to the ends of the earth.
A seminary built by a leader who lived the calling
Dr. Dana Carson grew up in inner-city Chicago and left high school early. Today he holds three earned doctorates, has written over 260 Kingdom books and courses, and has served in ministry for more than 40 years.
He built KTS on a simple belief: Kingdom leaders should never be sent out unprepared. That same belief now drives our next step, new master degree programs and doctoral degree programs built for the leaders who will carry this work forward.

A community already growing
Today, students study seminary graduate degrees and graduate certificates with KTS, both online and on our campus in Houston, Texas. Many are pastors, worship leaders, missionaries, and marketplace leaders who want theological studies without giving up their current work.
That same community, our students, our faculty, and our graduates, is who we are building this next season for. Explore our current seminary graduate degrees and certificates while our new programs take shape.
