This professional degree integrates biblical principles, research, and leadership formation to help you communicate the gospel in your cultural context, strengthen your ministry, and lead others to become disciples.
The Doctor of Ministry in Biblical Evangelism equips experienced ministry leaders to communicate the gospel effectively and lead evangelistic ministries with biblical depth, practical skill, and spiritual maturity.
Throughout the program, students engage deeply with Scripture, research-based ministry practices, and diverse perspectives on evangelism.

Each student will select, with approval, a three-member D.Min. committee. At least two members must be from NationsUniversity, with one NationsUniversity member serving as Committee Chair. The committee guides and evaluates the student’s doctoral work throughout the program and makes the final recommendation for successful completion following the student’s oral defense.
The D.Min. program is a combination of asynchronous components with weekly class meetings. Each term, though 16 weeks in duration, consists of approximately 10 class meetings, including student presentations. Students must attend in-person at least 70% of all class meetings and 70% of student presentations. Class meetings will be recorded, and absent students will be expected to review the recorded meetings. A student who writes a brief summary of the recorded class meeting will be given half-credit for attendance for up to two missed sessions.
The D.Min. program is a series of 9 four-month terms (for a total of three years) plus additional time for project presentation and oral defense. The terms run from September to December, January to April, and May to August. All cohorts will begin on September 1st of each year.

When I came to NationsUniversity, I had no hope that one day I will be a holder of a college degree since I could not afford to pay fees. Fortunately, I discovered NationsUniversity in 2016, I have managed to complete a Certificate in Biblical Studies, a Bachelor of Religious Studies, a Master of Theological Studies, and currently a Master of Divinity. Graduating with these degrees marks a total change in my life. My ministry goals are now becoming a reality!
