LCS D.Min. Program Highlighted in Pantagraph Article
On Monday, January 29, the Bloomington Pantagraph published a piece on Lincoln Christian Seminary’s new Doctor of Ministry program:
LINCOLN — Five ministers sit as students around a horseshoe-configured room for a class titled “DMIN1003 — Developing a Biblically Grounded Ministry.”
Each has skills they want to gain or improve upon as they return to college for doctorate degrees. Each has experience. Kevin Dell is the youngster, and he’s showing some gray at age 35.
Each also is part of Lincoln Christian Seminary history as the school has taken a leap forward this month with its first doctor of ministry class.
Robert Lowery teaches the course, and program director Jeff Snell monitors. They exude joy that a program talked about with various degrees of seriousness during two decades has now landed, with the enrollment of the first six students, one of whom dropped the first class because of an illness.
Snell sounds a tone of being pleased with the expected outcome: Better ministers, better equipped.
“I think we are slowly building something that will be a strong contribution to the mission of the school,” Snell said Jan. 10, the third day of the doctor of ministry classroom activity.
