Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) in Biblical Preaching

The D.Min. program is focused on congregational leaders in their own contexts. Preachers with several years of preaching under their belts have honed their skills, identified their strengths and growing edges, and come to greater clarity about the nature and importance of their calling. There simply is no more opportune time to teach preaching than in the midst of congregational service. 

Pastors receive a rigorous and supportive program of advanced professional study by which to further their vocational development. Luther Seminary hopes to greatly enhance the effectiveness of church leaders and thereby help to revitalize the life and ministry of the church.
