PURPOSE

The courses of study leading to the Doctor of Ministry Degree are designed to enable participants to attain excellence in the practice of ministry. The courses of study are designed to provide persons actively engaged in some form of professional ministry the opportunity to develop further the attitudes, skills, and knowledge which are essential to their ministry. The D.Min. program stresses the relationship between the practice of ministry and biblical, historical and theological knowledge. The level of class work in the D.Min. program is more advanced than M.Div. work and assumes the general knowledge acquired in an M.Div. program. The D.Min. program is not intended to prepare persons for teaching at the college or seminary level.
