Doctorate in Christian Community Development

Christian Community Development is offered as a specialization of both the Doctor of Ministry (DMin) and the Doctor of Theological Ministry (DTM). Unlike the DMin, the DTM degree is open to students with a Master of Arts degree.

Program Description

Through a partnership with Lawndale Community Church and working with the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA), Northern offers a Doctorate with an emphasis in Christian Community Development. In the CCD program, students will study with top leaders in the Christian Community Development Movement, experience hands-on, practical learning and foster relationships with other cohort students for future ministry networking. Each student is required to attend three CCDA conferences held in the fall of each year.
