Welcome from the Associate Dean

Welcome to the home page for the research doctoral program. We are a close-knit community of scholars committed to guiding and shaping the next generation of religious teachers and leaders. Our faculty and students are active members of various professional societies, engaging in research aimed at producing healthy churches.

As you reflect on God’s calling on your life, we hope that you will consider allowing us to be a part of your journey to equip yourself for God’s mission. Explore our Web pages and then let us answer any questions that you might have.

You also may want to consider visiting the campus during our March 5-7, 2009 Preview Weekend. In addition to registering through the Preview Weekend page by February 27, be sure to contact the Office of Research Doctoral Programs so we can arrange for you to meet with professors in your area of interest.

We look forward to hearing from you.

“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.”
