Doctoral Doctor of Ministry
St. Stephen's College
ststephenscollege.caThe Doctor of Ministry (DMin) program is designed for active practitioners, working in both traditional and non-traditional ministry contexts, who see their nurturing work as possessing an inherent spiritual and ministerial dimension. Counsellors, chaplains, health practitioners, spiritual care providers, social workers, nurses, long-term care workers, educators, clergy, and others caring for our communities and our planet can deepen their practice through the DMin program.
St Stephen's welcomes to its programs students from any faith tradition - or no tradition. The College encourages students to articulate their vision and practice of ministry using the languages, symbols, and images of the traditions and worldviews with which they identify. Within this diversity, St. Stephen's understands that the practice of ministry includes the self-reflective awareness of the nurturing quality of service to the Human community and to the Earth.
The DMin is a low-residency program designed for the working professional and can largely be completed at a distance. Most courses are offered in convenient week-long intensive formats, while other program elements are conducted online. The DMin program combines academic research with practical, applied competencies as appropriate to the student's professional field.
