School of Theology
Imagine. Discover. Create.
Welcome to Mercer University’s McAfee School of Theology.
Ministry begins with a calling, a stirring of the soul to live a meaningful life impacting the lives of others. Our vision is to prepare ministers who will inspire the Church and the world to imagine, discover, and create God’s loving and just world.
We are eager to hear your story. What are the ways in which you have experienced God’s call in your life?
Admissions
We are passionate about the discernment process and believe in your calling as a minister, scholar, and leader.
Academics
We offer an integrated program that grounds theological education within the contexts of a strong University, vibrant partner-churches, and engaged community partners. With both degree and lifelong learning programs available on campus, hybrid, and online, let us help you find the best option for you!
Online Learning: Mercer Meets You Where You Are
In addition to our residential programs, we also offer hybrid and fully online programs, allowing you to remain within your current ministry and professional contexts where you have already established significant ministry roots and community relationships. McAfee makes it possible for you to achieve your educational goals with the flexibility and convenience online learning provides.
