ABOUT THE DOCTOR OF MINISTRY PROGRAM
“By the time I began attending Asbury, I had already spent several years in vocational ministry. I realized I kept bumping up against things that I needed to be better equipped to handle. I wanted to find a place that valued the mission of Christ and rigorous theological training.”
Who benefits from a d.min.: Persons leading churches, educational institutions, missions agencies, faith-based non-profit organizations, chaplains, denominational leaders, church planters.
