While developing as a person and ministry practitioner, you will have the opportunity to specialize in an area of ministry that you are interested and passionate about.

Stacey Campbell, DMin 22 ‘ CEO, Prison Fellowship Canada

“After researching many institutions across North America, I chose Acadia Divinity College for the depth of knowledge, breadth of network available to mentor me toward my end goal, and flexibility I need to study in my specific field.

ADC has created an environment where I can reflect on the issues I face vocationally and develop relevant, innovative ideas that are shaping the way we do ministry. Peer interaction within the courses adds an enriched element to my learning as we discuss ideas that are both common and unique to us.

The Doctor of Ministry program is providing me with a solid grounding in academics to go further in my field than I could on my own. It gives me the passion and motivation to further my professional development and deepen my sense of how God is at work. It is very invigorating, and I could not be happier with my choice to study at ADC.”
