Doctor of Ministry Program

The Doctor of Ministry program offers an advanced-level curriculum combining the experiences of ministry with the academic resources of the seminary. 

Wesley's Doctor of Ministry Program enables pastors to develop an integrated theology of ministry that embraces the total life and mission of the church. The program goals include:

  • Acquainting students with current theological trends and issues
  • Deepening the integration of discipline and ministry, and
  • Providing students with opportunities for establishing lasting collegial ties with other students.
