Pastors, would you like to grow in your practice of pastoral ministry? Consider our Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) Program! Dr. Joshua Jones ('21) the impact the program has had on him, "The D.Min. program at Concordia Seminary invited and pushed me to articulate theological thoughts and responses about the Scriptures, ministry and life with both coherence and precision — all while being guided and challenged by fellow men of God, both students and faculty."

Shine Professor of Systematic Theology, and Dr. Jon Vieker, dean of Chapel and associate professor of Practical Theology, for Worship and the Word.
