This fall, Liberty University’s John W. Rawlings School of Divinity launched the new Church Ministry in the Digital Age specialization under the Master of Arts in Religion and the Master of Divinity programs, offered residentially and online.
Comprised of courses centering on digital community, theology, formation, and strategies, the new specialization is taught primarily by its creator Dr. Steve Lowe, graduate chair for the Christian Leadership and Church Ministries Department. Lowe started developing his ideas for the specialization in 2015 and presented proposals last year. The new track is one of the first of its kind in the field, combining foundational religion courses with digital ministry courses to focus on practical applications.
