Doctor of Ministry (D.Min)

Strengthen your leadership now!
 
Clarify your focus, sharpen your skills, intensify your ministry commitment. Come to VTS for our unparalleled Doctor of Ministry (D.Min) programs.
 
Our ecumenical D.Min programs ask, “What is the vision God has given us for transforming lives and communities?” This question helps us focus on the things that really matter and make a difference in your ministry and leadership in parish, school, college, military, mission field, and the larger community.
 
You bring knowledge, wisdom, and skill from your ministry. You know your own challenges, strengths, and areas for growth. We honor what you bring to this program. In our D.Min programs, you are treated as an adult professional learner. You contribute to each other’s learning through intensive reflections on real situations you have faced.
  • Strengthen your ability to read, understand, and shape the life of congregations, schools, universities, and communities of faith
  • Renew and clarify your focus for ministry and leadership in your current context
  • Develop habits that foster leadership and deeply committed discipleship in yourself and others
  • Know and claim afresh what you are trying to achieve in Christ's name, why you are trying to achieve it, and how you can pursue it through transformational ministry, leadership, and mission.
