Western Accepting Applications for New Doctor of Ministry
July 2, 2026
Western Seminary is launching a new Doctor of Ministry in Leadership, Innovation, and Theology in the Bay Area. Applications are now open for a Spring 2027 start.
The DMin program will combine top-level scholars in theology and Bible, leaders of fruitful ministries in the heart of Silicon Valley, and regional Christian technology innovators. Leaders will be equipped to serve Jesus faithfully and theologically in a rapidly changing, technology-driven, spiritually searching culture.
This new DMin features an extensive list of guest instructors, including Gavin Ortlund, Joel Muddamalle, Nijay Gupta, Carmen Imes, Lynn Cohick, Dave Ferguson (Exponential), Derwin Gray, and many others.
"I am excited to lead this DMin degree and the cohort we will form together," says Dan Kimball, DMin, director of the DMin program. "It will be a wonderful opportunity to dive deeply into study, enhance your ministry and life, and create a dissertation project that serves both your ministry context and others."
