Dr. Michael Palmer, Dean of School of Divinity
Welcome to Regent University and the School of Divinity!
Essential to fulfilling your distinct call to serve is educational preparation. Today, the Regent University School of Divinity is welcoming some of the highest-caliber students who desire to impact the world for Christ. They come to Regent because the School of Divinity provides a unique blend of rigorous, fully accredited academic preparation, practical ministry training and personal spiritual formation—provided by prominent professors who are passionate about equipping current and future ministry leaders to fulfill their specific calls to ministry. As a university, our mission is to prepare Christian leaders who will be effective instruments to transform individuals, families, communities and nations around the world. You may be one of those leaders.
As a multidenominational divinity school, we stand apart from other seminaries through the strength and diversity of our distinguished faculty and students, the depth of our academic programs with emphasis on biblical understanding and spiritual formation, and our leadership in renewal studies—the history, theology and ministry of the Holy Spirit. We have forged new paths in providing accredited non-traditional program formats that allow our students to pursue their degree while remaining in their ministry context. As you consider your path in higher education, we invite you to consider the Regent University School of Divinity.
