Doctor of Ministry (DMin)

 

The Doctor of Ministry program exists to equip pastors, missionaries, and leaders in Christian organizations to be more competent in their practice of ministry, and to revitalize their personal and spiritual life. Doctor of Ministry program is not a research program but it sets high academic standards. Students are able to remain in full-time ministry while they engage in this learning process.

 

Having successfully completed the DMin degree program, students will have demonstrated:

  1. a reinvigorated and deepened vocational calling to ministry;
  2. an advanced understanding of ministry leadership in a local church or other chosen ministry settings;
  3. an in-depth contextual and critical thinking to identify, analyze, and respond to essential issues of ministry ;
  4. an advanced theological integration to engage their cultural context with a biblical, Reformed theological perspective in a doctoral dissertation or report on field-based research;
  5. enhanced leadership capacity in their chosen ministry settings (e.g., worship leading, preaching, teaching, administration, counseling, urban mission, overseas mission).
