Doctor of Ministry
The mission of APNTS is to prepare men and women for Christ-like leadership and excellence in ministries. At a high degree, the Doctor of Ministry fulfills this mission. The D. Min. program is an advanced, professional theological degree intended for practitioners of ministry who desire to be more effective in their calling and context of ministry. Its aim is to integrate theory and practice. The focus is in an Asia-Pacific context. Readings, discussions with mentors and peers, and, finally, a major project related to the student’s ministry, readies faithful pastors and other church leaders for the challenges of the twenty-first century church. As a program of APNTS, the Doctor of Ministry is committed to revitalizing Wesleyan perspectives. The D.Min. degree seeks no less than to be a catalyst for transformation within the Church and throughout the world primarily through its practicing ecclesial church ministers and leaders.
