The Doctor of Ministry degree is a professional doctorate in some area of applied theology, such as missions, evangelism, church growth, homiletics, or spiritual formation. The Master of Divinity (M.Div.) is usually a prerequisite to entering a D.Min. program. The D.Min. differs from the research-oriented Ph.D. in that the focus is on application, not research. The degree is designed for working clergy, and most D.Min. programs are structured to allow for part time study by pastors, missionaries, and denominational leaders.
