Student Learning Outcomes

In order to serve the one God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit - and form God's people for servant leadership in ministry and mission, the DMin curriculum will enable students to:

• Define "congregational revitalization" and show evidence of renewal within their particular ministry setting
• Think theologically by integrating learning from the classical disciplines (Bible, history, theology, and ministry) into the life of the local congregations
• Identify and address significant theological and social issues in their congregations as well as within the church catholic
• Develop lay congregational leaders by identifying and nurturing leadership gifts and skills within the congregation and by demonstrating the function of these lay gifts/skills in congregational revitalization.

In these ways, the seminary seeks to strengthen the ministry of experienced pastors and to promote the revitalization of congregations. Through this process, the seminary will continue to advance the ministry and mission of the Church of Jesus Christ.
