Doctor of Educational Ministry (DEdMin)
The Doctor of Educational Ministry equips Christian educators for advanced leadership and Bible teaching in congregational and parachurch ministry contexts.
Equipping Educators for Ministry Impact
The DEdMin is designed for vocational, bi-vocational, and lay leaders seeking to strengthen their effectiveness in teaching and educational ministry. The program integrates biblical rationale, sociological insight, and practical implementation through cohort-based learning or individualized study pathways. By combining advanced theological reflection with applied leadership development, the DEdMin equips educators to shape ministries marked by clarity, conviction, and faithful instruction.
