The D.Min. Congregational Transformation provides training support for pastor and congregational team. It will bring focus, structure and experience alongside a transformation journey in your church.
The Center for Parish Development together with United Theological Seminary provides what you are looking for in support for congregational transformation. The Center has integrated Bible study and theological reflection with learnings from the social sciences to develop a transformation process honed in real congregational contexts. A robust curriculum of training seminars and workshops for pastors and local church teams along with consistent coaching support brings experience alongside your journey of transformation. United Theological seminary is granting the Doctor of Ministry degree for pastors who move through this journey of transformation with their congregation. Pastors will find out more about the D. Min. in Congregational Transformation in this workshop.
