Leadership matters. The development of effective transformational leaders is vital as organizations seek to navigate the complex and changing realities in our world today. To partner with church leaders facing this challenge, Bethel Seminary is offering a unique and fully online cohort in its Doctor of Ministry program. The Doctor of Ministry in Transformational Leadership focuses on developing reflective leaders grounded in the theory and practice of transformational leadership.

This Doctor of Ministry Program is targeted toward those actively engaged in the practice of leadership in diverse ministry settings including church, parachurch, nonprofit, and cross-cultural settings. Engaging learners who desire to advance their understanding of effective transformational leadership in our changing world, the program will challenge learners to explore contemporary leadership theory in light of biblical foundations. Further, as they develop their skills as doctoral researchers, students will be challenged to develop innovative and research-based solutions to the leadership demands of today and tomorrow.

The courses in this Doctor of Ministry cohort will utilize interactive coursework conducted through Bethel’s online distributed learning system, doctoral-level reading and project implementation, and regular interaction with faculty mentors, student peer mentors, and on-site evaluators. We hope you will join us in this innovative, fully online, cohort-based learning experience.
