The Doctor of Ministry (DMin) degree is designed to provide professionals in ministry with an advanced educational experience, which in turn serves the church by promoting leaders with advanced professional development. The degree integrates resources from heritage and practical disciplines; this integration expands and enhances the ability of ministering professionals to analyze and conceptualize ministry issues within a framework of theological understanding.

Our accredited Doctor of Ministry degree program is designed to equip current church leaders to:
• change the future of the Church with cutting-edge thinking and scholarship;
• expand and enhance your ability to analyze and conceptualize issues emerging from changing contexts;
• increase your ability to engage in disciplined theological reflection in the context of a professional setting;

The DMin degree is especially designed with the student in mind. Collaborative study with peer groups, small class sizes, core courses designed to integrate theory and practice and projects designed to change the church based on class work and peer input make the MTSO program unique.

Students will be admitted to a cohort group engaged in a shared specialization throughout their work in the DMin program. Upon matriculation into the Doctor of Ministry program, each student receives a Doctor of Ministry handbook which describes program policies and procedures in detail.
