Overview
Through the study of practical theology, you can become equipped to take theological ideas beyond the realm of academic study and apply them to every aspect of Christian thought, worship, and life. By completing Liberty University ’s Practical Theology (Online) degree, you can prepare to engage in practical theology in churches, parachurch organizations, religious nonprofits, and even secular settings. You could go on to produce scholarly writings, teach at a university or seminary, serve as a church staff member, or develop material to distribute to Christians seeking guidance for ministry questions.
With our practical theology PhD program, you won’t just gain theological knowledge – you can develop the research, teaching, and ministry skills needed to transform the lives of individual people and entire communities. You can learn to apply theology to challenges in church growth, spiritual formation, social issues, preaching, church administration, educational ministries, family life, and more. That way, you can help Christians in all walks of life live out theological principles in everything they do.
