The Doctor of Ministry program is an advanced, professional theological degree for ministers and as such exists to serve the Church. It is an integral program within West Africa Theological Seminary. It offers specialized tracks (Holiness, Revival, and Cross-Cultural Missions) that will equip pastors and church leaders with a significantly higher level of competence than that achieved during their Graduate Studies.
The DMin Program contributes in a general way to the mission of WATS. Specifically, it supports our intention to assist students to grow intellectually, emotionally, physically and spiritually in their lifetime quest of becoming and doing all that God intends.
We believe it is paramount that WATS deeply impact African leaders to pursue scriptural holiness personally and through their ministries to others. Our doctoral students must see how the holiness mandate should positively impact the future of the African Church and how to promote clearer understanding and implementation of the scriptural call for purity of heart and life. Likewise, the program must produce leaders who will pioneer the next generation of cross-cultural missions’ outreach around the continent and beyond. With equal vigour, we must also become a continental centre for the study and promotion of biblically sound revivalism. We believe it is paramount for us to become a catalyst for the next wave of regional and even continental revival.
