Doctor of Ministry Urban Ministry
Minister with Confidence in Urban Cultural Contexts with a Doctor of Ministry in Urban Ministry Degree
Are you a ministry professional who is passionate about meeting the needs of people in urban or inner-city settings? Church leaders in cities deal with both diverse and dense populations in the neighborhoods around their church.
To meet the growing need for churches in urban areas, Liberty has created a unique degree program – the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) in Urban Ministry. Through this program, you’ll gain additional knowledge and insight into working with urban populations as well as how to plan and implement culturally relevant ministries to strengthen your church in the city.
Your heart for reaching diverse people in dense populations does not go unrecognized. Growing numbers within cities, both nationally and globally, mean people like you – with the right training, skills, expertise, and passion – are critical to reaching these people with the Gospel. By partnering with us, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of relevant issues in urban society, learn to address the complex needs of a community, and introduce Gospel-related solutions to urban ministry in any setting.
