Quote from Current Student
The D.Min. program has enhanced my ministry through mentorship by incredible professors and top-notch ministry professionals. The content we’ve engaged in has broadened my perspectives and knowledge base. God has already used what I’ve learned to launch new ministry opportunities in my local church and I am grateful to be teamed up with a beautifully diverse cohort of brothers and sisters co-laboring for Christ around the nation.
