4 Ce rt i f i c at e in Ge r o n t o l o g y Lexington Theological Seminary students may earn a Certificate in Gerontology from the University of Kentucky s Sanders-Brown Center on Aging. The certificate requires 12 hours of classroom work and a field experience for which three hours of credit are earned. The Seminary will transfer in all 15 hours from the University. Doctor of Ministry The Doctor of Ministry program at Lexington Theological Seminary is an advanced professional degree, requiring 32 semester hours, and designed to strengthen ministry practice and leadership in the midst of today s rapidly changing cultures. The faculty intends to make this program a setting for sustained reflection on the practice of ministry. At Lexington, students seek to be critical interpreters of culture and theology, skilled practitioners, and faithful pastoral leaders. D.Min. studies call for rigorous academic work within the context of collegiality. Priorities include spiritual formation and a high level of commitment to the life and witness of the Church. The goal of this doctoral program is the integration of an advanced level of theological reflection with the ongoing practice of ministry, thereby raising the standards of ministry and contributing to the renewal and mission of the Church. Core Studies (8 hours to be completed in the first year) These are foundational courses that enable the student to enrich personal understanding around the issues of vocation, cultural contexts, and pastoral leadership. These offerings also open the door to advanced learning in the areas of research and writing. Ar e a St u d i e s (12 hours to be begun in the second year) Students must choose one course from each of the following three areas, plus one additional course in one of these areas for a total of four Area Studies: Bible, Theology, Ethics Church History, Interfaith and Cross- Cultural Studies Christian Ministries: Homiletics, Pastoral Care, Educational Ministry, Worship, Pastoral Leadership Elective Studies (6 hours) Two studies may be chosen in any of the three areas listed above. For these two courses only, Directed Study is possible, as are enhanced M.Div. classes. Students may also transfer three hours of Elective Study credit from an accredited institution, as approved by the director and the dean. The Thesis/Project (6 hours) After completing 17 hours in the D.Min. program, students apply for D.Min. candidacy by submitting a Thesis/Project proposal to the faculty. Once the proposal is approved and under the tutelage of a faculty advisor, the student begins work on the Thesis/Project. Following the completion of all course work, and as they undertake the research and writing of the Thesis/Project, students will enroll in a one-hour research course each spring and fall semester with a limit of six semesters. This requirement helps students and their faculty advisors to keep pace toward the successful completion of the D.min. Thesis/ Project. 20

5 The Doctor of Ministry Thesis/Project The D.Min. Thesis/Project is the final phase of the program. It is a concrete expression of the aim to integrate theology and practice by addressing a particular issue in the life of the congregation or church agency served by the doctoral candidate. The goal is to require candidates to express their calling as practical theologians in defining, exploring, and reflecting on an issue of significance. The Thesis/Project must reflect substantive, scholarly research in the area of inquiry. Depending upon the nature of the inquiry, candidates may be required to enlist a collaborative team of leaders from the congregational or agency context in which they serve. Models for the Thesis/Project are: Action/Reflection The development and implementation of a program in a congregational or church agency setting, with particular emphasis on the theological grounding and the critical evaluation of the program. Extended Research Essay An inquiry into a topic related to the integration of theology and the practice of ministry in a congregation or church agency. Admission and Enrollment Enrollment in the D.Min. program is possible in the fall semester only. Application materials may be submitted to the Director of Admissions at anytime, but the final deadline is July 1 of each year. Applicants must be currently engaged in the practice of ministry and hold an M.Div. from an accredited theological school. They should have at least three years of ministry experience beyond the granting of the M.Div. degree and should give evidence of congregational or agency support for the applicant s enrollment in the program. Admission Standards A GPA of 3.25 is required. (A GPA of 3.00 must be maintained while in the program). An autobiographical essay (2-3 pages, single-spaced) is required. A Ministry Reflection Paper (8-10 pages, double-spaced) is required. Computer Needs Each D.Min. enrollee is expected to have computer skills and access for contact with the Seminary staff and faculty. Computers are an important part of each D.Min. student's academic life. 21
