How deeply does Christianity impact Korean culture? Facing the unprecedented growth of Korean Christian population, leaders must be trained, equipped, and molded to live out a Gospel-centered, Gospel-driven, and Gospel-shaped life and ministry. They then can develop their churches to have a strong, mature faith lived out to bring lasting change to their communities.
As a Doctor of Ministry student, you attend three, two-week intensive residencies which consist of lectures, case studies, participant reports and individual consultations. The classroom sessions are collegial in style and stress learning within a community context.
In preparation for each residency, you read between 2,000 and 3,000 pages of assigned and collateral reading.

Here is how your studies will transform you and your ministry by seeking to fulfill our general Doctor of Ministry goals in some track-specific ways:
To resource students through a biblically-grounded educational program taught by faculty who are committed to God’s Word and the application of principles of Scripture to the issues of contemporary culture.
To form in students a sound foundation of theological and biblical inquiry in their professional doctoral program’s specialized track that they are able to integrate into the life of Christian ministry.
To provide students with the skill sets and understandings in a specialized area of ministry to such an extent that they can impact their congregation or community more powerfully for God.
To create through the cohort model of the program a dimension of Christian community and spiritual nurturing so that students form strong friendships with one another and enter long-term relationships with the scholars who guide the learning experience.
To develop in students a deeper understanding of Christ’s lordship in all areas of life for the common good of the contemporary world.
To cultivate within students through critical reflection and careful research through the residencies and projects an enriched Christian witness in the places of society they are called to serve.
To instill in students a refreshed view of their ministry as it relates to the proclamation of the Gospel among all people.
