School of Ministry
BGU (HK) offers two key ministry and theological programs of DMin and MTS and the new MAGUM degree:
Doctor of Ministry (DMin) in Transformational Leadership for the Global City. It is a ministry degree program designed to enhance the leadership skills of individuals engaged in some aspect of Christian ministry. The degree program is appropriate for pastors, para-church leaders, urban ministry leaders and administrators. The DMin is distinct from the PhD or ThD in that its primary focus is the practical aspects of ministry rather than preparing the participant for research or teaching in purely academic arenas. However, in recent years, some seminary educators have chosen the DMin degree to enhance their ability to provide training relevant to practical issues in Christian ministry.
"I pursue a D.Min. in order to update research on Urban Mission which is related to my mission work in China and my teaching ministry in Seminary. I choose BGU as I want to learn from Dr. Ray Bakke who has global experience in large cities. The most helpful course I learned was empowering leaders through coaching; and I am applying the principles in the training ministry in China with enthusiastic responses". DMin Candidate, Seminary Lecturer & Missions Leader
