First Seminary DMIN cohort starts!

The first Wesley Seminary DMin cohort is now up and running with Bob Whitesel. It's a three year series of courses in Leadership, with a fourth year to do an individualized project.

Bob was built for this sort of thing and it is amazing the schedule he has put together. Next year, Lenny Luchetti is up with a Preaching DMin!

DMIN in Leadership--Open for Business!

In most academia, the wheels move so slowly it can drive you insane! Finally, after months and months and months of waiting, the second accrediting body has approved Wesley Seminary at IWU's new DMIN degree. The first cohort begins this coming summer in Leadership, with Bob Whitesel as the faculty mentor.

There are only 20 slots and several have already been tentatively filled so you want to jump on this NOW!

You can apply here.

You can download the booklet here.

You can download the flyer here.

For two weeks each year, you’ll travel first to Atlanta, then to England, and finally to San Diego with a diverse group of students to learn from 24 top leaders, experts, and thinkers in leadership, with Wesley's own Dr. Bob Whitesel as your guide.

You will learn about urban, suburban, and rural leadership in Atlanta; church multiplication and renewal in London and Oxford; and multicultural leadership in San Diego. The program leads to a capstone project one on one with a project adviser that brings together 3 years of study and life-changing experiences to transform your ministry, and transform lives. At the end, you will have earned a Doctor of Ministry in Transformational Leadership from Wesley Seminary.

In order to qualify, most students, with some exceptions, will be expected to have three years of full time ministry since achieving MDIV equivalence (72 hours of graduate work).

So excited to see this venture now officially open for business! Then in 2017 a proclamation cohort begins with Dr. Lenny Luchetti, and a spiritual formation cohort in 2018 with Dr. Colleen Derr. Jump into the game NOW!

The DMIN cometh...

The DMIN cometh!

At Wesley Seminary at Indiana Wesleyan University, we are in the very early stages of brainstorming the possibility of a Doctor of Ministry degree program and would like your help. If you or anyone you know (it doesn't have to be anyone associated with Wesley, IWU, or the Wesleyan Church) might potentially be interested in getting a DMIN one day, would you send them in the next couple weeks to the following link to answer just a few questions:

The more who participate, the better the result.  The tentative brainstorm is to commence offering the degree in the Fall of 2015.  We are also brainstorming a "bridge" for former IWU MA students to get to the 72 hours required to be "MDIV equivalent" and thus eligible for beginning a DMIN.

Thanks for any help you might give!
