DMin Project

February 6, 2007 | Filed Under dmin project |

This is a new site established to act as a “clearing house” for the research and writing of a DMin project in 2007. The project will focus on equipping pastors and church leaders in leading their churches towards developing a missional mindset.

I believe churches allocate the majority of their resources on programs and ministries for the benefit of church members rather than to impact the lives of those outside of the church. As a result churches are missing opportunities to influence their communities. Therefore, participants in the project will learn how to lead a church towards developing a missional mindset by the reallocation of resources – including but not limited to prayer, people, time, facilities, finances and technology – for the purpose of influencing their local communities.

    Hi,

    I’m also working on a DMin and am leading in a similar direction for my dissertation. I’m serving a traditional United Methodist Church so the issues are applicable to my current situation. I’ve been leaning this way since I’ve been here, but it has just been in the past couple of years that I’ve realized that others are moving in the same direction. I’m finding it to be a slow transition because most of the ‘current’ thinking in my denomination is all about programs and implementing anything that is thought to bring growth. - Dave.

    I am about to go to orals for my DMIN (Golden Gate) - My project was in utilizing affinity groups to build relationships, share Christ, and teach people to become missional.

    Best wishes on your progress!
