DMin...

I am in the early stages of making application to the DMin program of Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary. Golden Gate has a campus in Denver and I have the opportunity to join a group of my peers from here in Colorado as well as a few students from New Mexico in this quest for a Doctorate of Ministry. I have long wanted to begin work on a PhD but I have never had the motivation to get started. Some of my good friends will be joining me in this venture and so I guess that I am a victim of peer pressure. I'll be posting my journey as I move forward. One of the interesting questions on the application relates to the loss of family members to death and the impact it has had on my ministry. It was quite therapeutic to think through the question and to pen my answer. The degree is supposed to be "transformational" and I would concur that even the application has a transformational nature to it. The emphasis of the DMin will be Church Health which is certainly something in which I would like to gain expertise. You can get more information about the DMin at Golden Gate here. Additional students are being sought after. Please leave a message if you are interested in joining us. The program of study will being in January, 2009.
