Grebel faculty are experts in Theological Studies, Music, Church Music and Worship, Peace and Conflict Studies, History, Mennonite Studies and Religion, Culture, and Spirituality. Not only are they dedicated professors, but they are esteemed scholars in their respective fields, working on a wide variety of research projects. The following page details TS Faculty's recent and current projects.

Students in the Applied Studies stream of the Master of Theological Studies degree at Grebel find Supervised Experience in Ministry (SEM) courses to be highly rewarding aspects of the curriculum. With two required placements, students explore ministry in a practical setting. Under the guidance of a local supervisor, students set learning goals, develop a reading list, and write a summative paper.

MTS student Sarah Weber is combining her SEM with a Clinical Experience Placement, done under the umbrella of Luther College at Wilfrid Laurier, and the Waterloo Region Health Network.

MTS Convocation 2025

On April 13 at Convocation ceremony, we gathered to celebrate MTS students' accomplishments in the program. Join us in congratulating your classmates - Charles Biswas, Devin Hogg, Margaret Sherk, Peter Haresnape, and Christa van Daele on their achievements! Devin Hogg was this year's valedictorian!

On Friday, September 6, as part of graduate orientation week, students in Conrad Grebel University College's Master of Theological Studies (MTS) and Master of Peace and Conflict Studies (MPACS) programs took a field trip to Brubacher House museum and the Office of Indigenous Relations (OIR) at the University of Waterloo. The goal of the outing was “for graduate students to situate themselves historically and geographically, and to reflect on how the histories of colonization have shaped our current location and studies,” explained Reina Neufeldt, Chair of Peace and Conflict Studies.

Grebel's Master of Theological Studies program is careful to include indigenous perspectives in the curriculum. This is part of the College’s commitment to following Call to Action #60 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission that addresses theological schools and “the need to respect Indigenous spirituality in its own right.” In particular, courses like TS 732 - “Theologies of the Global South,” and TS 733 - “Indigenous Theologies and Methods” explore Indigenous theologies with attention to experience, history, the nature of the spiritual, key figures, and important themes. MTS students who have taken these courses reflected on some of their key learnings.
