If you already work in ministry, our Doctor of Ministry (D.Min) program is designed to help you expand your skills and impact. In this competency-based program, you’ll move at your own pace by demonstrating mastery of key ministry competencies via course activities and practical assessments. In your courses, you’ll work to analyze real-world ministry problems and opportunities and develop solutions using research and best practice. With frequent faculty interaction, you’ll also focus on growing your spiritual maturity. Motivated students may be able to finish this degree in an accelerated format and for less cost as compared to many other doctoral programs. Many students will complete our DMin program within 18-30 months.*
Our Ministry program is non-denominational and will not result in ordination in any specific church or denomination. By interacting with peers from outside your own faith traditions, you’ll have the chance to embrace ministerial diversity and work across differences in theology, race, ethnicity and gender.
