About the Program

The Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) is an advanced research degree in the practice of ministry. Students deepen leadership capacities as they reflect theologically, explore changing contexts of ministry, and pursue research in dialogue with faculty mentors and a cohort of ministry professionals. The program consists of coursework and a substantial professional project of theologically-reflective ministry-based research.
