MASTER’S Theological Institute (MTI) provides low cost, easily accessible theological study programs that are delivered and completed 100% online.  The innovative MTI system eliminates the need for textbooks and other study materials that are often expensive and difficult to obtain.  All of the required course study materials are provided as a part of the program.  Every program course is practical, richly rewarding, and ideal for both clergy and laymen.  Each one of the self-contained six-course programs leads to the award of an Advanced Certificate in Theological Studies in the selected area of concentration.
