Who we are

Our website address is: https://dmineducation.org.

 

The Association for Doctor of Ministry Education (ADME) was established to cultivate discussion, research, and the interchange of information regarding DMin programs with the intent of strengthening them and advancing DMin concerns in theological education by:

 

1) Encouraging students to think deeply in order to minister effectively;

 

2) Facilitating collaboration among DMin programs regarding best practices;

 

3) Creating venues for thoughtful and scholarly discussion of contemporary ministry issues and concerns;

 

4) Developing consensus in excellence for DMin education;

 

5) Providing venues for mutual support among DMin directors; and

 

6) Promoting the DMin degree as an essential contribution to theological education.

 

All these purposes are pursued in regular dialogue with the Association of Theological Schools. ADME holds affiliate status with The Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.
