DMin - Doctor of Ministry

Doctorate of Ministry (DMin)

It is clear that the context of Christian ministry is changing rapidly – new tasks, new situations, new challenges. The Doctorate of Ministry is an attempt to help you renew yourself, and your approach to ministry, in this new world. It is designed for busy people who cannot take extended periods of study away from their ministry (though if you are able to take a period of study leave, that time can be used very profitably for work on your DMin).

The DMin course can be seen in a number of ways:

as an opportunity for in-service training/continuing ministerial education
as on-going personal development
as a chance to develop new skills
as a focus for evaluating your current work
as a structure for developing expertise in a particular aspect of theology and/or ministry
as an opportunity to develop new approaches to pastoral ministry
as an opportunity to consider the challenges facing church life and mission in the 21^st Century
as an opportunity to make a significant contribution to the understanding and practice of ministry through the completion of a major research project.

Due to the fact that the University of Wales (Lampeter) is bringing its validation activities to an end, we are looking for a new academic partner for the DMin. This will probably lead to minor changes to the course. More news to follow.
