Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) Program
The needs of the pastoral field are complex and varied, beyond the academics and spirituality that have been learned in a seminar. In the meantime, we will provide this program for balanced pastoral development and the development of the true pastor’s ideals and realities, along with the globalization of the gospel and the urgent needs of pastoral and missionary ministry at home and abroad. We hope the students will complete the model of the incarnate character and ministry of Jesus Christ through excellent faculties with a variety of pastoral and missionary experience.
