Questions before starting a D.Min.

Chuck Warnock (who is getting closer to finishing a Doctor of Ministry degree himself) offers five very helpful questions to ask when considering starting a D.Min. degree:

1. Do I have time?
2. Will my church support me?
3. Can I commit 4-7 years to the process?
4. Do I want an accredited degree or just the title?
5. What criteria will I use to select a D.Min. program?

Be sure to read Chuck's particular explanation and reflections about each question. Visit Chuck's blog (Confessions of a Small Church Pastor) to read more.
