Doctor of Ministry in Relational Leadership

The Doctor of Ministry in Relational Leadership is a practice-oriented professional degree for pastors and ministry leaders cultivating a “way of being” for spiritual formation. The program emphasizes relational ministry development. It is designed to facilitate spiritual renewal and stimulate increasingly effective ministry in the Church and the contemporary world.

Participants are challenged to refine and enhance their ministerial skills. Starting with a solid theological foundation, participants build a relational approach to ministry leadership that focuses on being rather than doing. Practical applications of a relational paradigm to ministry and leadership are explored throughout the program and in the professional ministry research project. Besides, participants analyze, reflect, discuss, and implement practical ministry initiatives through interaction with a cohort and faculty mentors.
