How to be Successful

Count the cost! This is a joyful journey, but one that is very demanding. This program is designed to truly make you worthy of holding the title “Doctor of Ministry.” When you have completed this journey, you will have established your theological position on the major doctrines of the Bible as well as creating an abundance of material for a life of preaching and teaching. So enter the program with commitment, courage, and a bright sense of future.
The student will have access to the supervisor of the Doctoral program for discussions, clarification and book references. Mentoring is important! The student will need to use the internet and research publishing companies (like CBD) for book titles and relevant material. The student will be at great advantage if he or she will collect some solid systematic theology books. These books cover many of these topics and list references for further studies.
It is important to stay with the prescribed timeline. Failing to conform to our chronology will disqualify the student from continuing. Exceptions will be made upon special request to the supervising professor. Situations involving death, illness, injuries and the such will be given sensitive consideration.
