Ministry Project
TEDS DMin is experienced in a 3-Phase, 4-year program delivered in a hybrid model, where credits are earned in the classroom, in independent Guided Research and from demonstrated competencies. Your Ministry Project is not a final paper, but rather the culmination of the strategic work and learning you do along the way, resulting in the renewal of your local ministry throughout the entire program.
The DMin has been a perfect complement to my MDiv. TEDS surrounded me with seasoned, yet humble, Christian mentors who are passionate about sharing the wisdom God has given to them. I’m particularly thankful for how they introduced me to vast fields of study, but always with a framework shaped by a biblical worldview.
