Western Collaborates with Lausanne Movement to Equip Global Leaders
April 7, 2026
Western Seminary is thrilled to collaborate with the Lausanne Movement to launch the Doctor of Global Leadership degree to equip global leaders for ministry around the world.
Inspired by John Stott’s vision for “the whole church taking the whole gospel to the whole world,” this degree program fosters leaders who embody servant-hearted leadership and a collaborative spirit, enabling them to navigate cultural complexities and champion unity in the global Church.
This new program is launching in the fall of 2026 to qualified global leaders.
“We are thrilled to partner with Lausanne – an organization with a likeminded commitment to evangelism and the historic gospel of Jesus Christ,” says President Chuck Conniry, PhD.
Of the 36 credits required to complete the Doctor of Global Leadership, 9 credits will be taken in person at international locations that are widely accessible and affordable. Students will join a cohort of like-minded leaders serving in global contexts, learning together from world-class faculty in the field of global leadership.
Western will also apply a generous 40% scholarship to the tuition of every student admitted to the program.
