Lancaster Bible College | Capital Seminary & Graduate School has been around since 1933, and we’ve changed a lot since then.

5. Church Planting
Master of Arts in Ministry and Master of Divinity
The Church is a key part of God’s plan to bring about reconciliation. Why not invest your ministry in learning how to grow it?

6. Strategic Leadership
More than anything, the church needs leaders who are focused less on themselves and more on Christ. Too often, the trappings of pop culture leadership – like acclaim, influence, recognition and even fame – are mistaken for power. Through Capital Seminary & Graduate School’s strategic leadership program, students learn the importance of true power through leading as Christ did, while simultaneously gaining practical leadership training that they can apply to their everyday lives through ministry.
