The everyday challenges of ministry can get in the way of your own reflection on God and your ability to lead the church in a formative direction. The Doctor of Ministry can help you rediscover vocational depth and direction, gain a theological understanding of leadership, and develop contextual skills for community building. If you are looking for a degree that excites your theological imagination and helps you in your practical ministry, the D.Min. is for you.
The Doctor of Ministry program offers courses that enrich your understanding of ministerial leadership. Some of those courses include:
The Person and Role of a Leader in Ministry
Leadership and Vocation in Church and Community: A Theological/Historical Exploration
Models of Leadership, Social Institutions, and Community Engagements
Vocation, Leadership, and the Bible in Contexts
Ecclesiology, Community, and Models of Leadership

“I realized I needed to improve my skills—particularly evangelism in my community. That's the reason I gravitated to the D.Min. If you are seeking to enhance your ministry, this is the perfect program.”
- Sumesh Jacob, Doctor of Ministry Student
As you discern if a D.Min. is right for you, talk to leaders in your church or denomination, contact a spiritual director, and enter a personal discernment process with God.
