In the Doctor of Ministry in Servant Leadership for Team and Organizational Effectiveness, we help students build skills in transformational servant leadership.

Using both biblical perspectives and contemporary scholarship, professors and students dig into what servant leadership looks like in today's world.

What Students Gain

From understanding team dynamics to learning the value of self-leadership, students become equipped to lead and mobilize teams in transformational ways.

Students will:

• Learn strategies for effective leadership development
• Consider the principles of self-leadership in which they learn to attend to the personal and spiritual dimensions of the inner life
• Explore theories and practices associated with the effective use of teams
• Improve leadership communication skill (necessary for effecting organizational culture and change)
