One on One

The self-directed approach allows students to pursue a personalized plan of study with the guidance of a faculty adviser. This program empowers students to design and customize their course map around their core ministry needs, goals and interests.

The heart of the Dallas D.Min. is flexibility. At the beginning of the program, you’ll create an overall plan of study. You may focus on one of several areas (such as education, leadership, or preaching), or you can design a program with a varied approach. Your plan, which is evaluated annually, originates from your individual goals, your ministry needs, and your assessment of perceived strengths and limitations.
