Overview

The Online Preaching and Teaching DMin programme from Liberty University online seminary was founded by leading Christian scholars, theologians, and ministry professionals — many of whom are still teaching at Liberty today. With their guidance, you can gain practical skills in biblical teaching, sermon writing, and Scriptural exposition.

In our expository preaching and teaching program, you’ll explore how to preach biblical truth in a timely, relevant manner. You’ll also learn how to defend against doctrinal errors and use effective, engaging teaching methods in your sermons. With this knowledge, you can help your congregation better understand and remember God’s Word.

Do you want to grow in your walk with Christ and equip others to do the same? Preachers play a vital role in furthering the Kingdom of God — and our online DMin classes will help you become a spiritual leader in your church. You can gain the knowledge, skills, and values needed to apply Christian scholarship to practical ministry problems.

Learn how to write sermons that combine theological truth with practical action points. This program emphasizes the role of interpretation in teaching Scripture. You can learn how to preach the Old and New Testaments using best methods in homiletics and hermeneutics.

Before graduating, you will complete either a portfolio or a thesis project. Both projects provide an opportunity to demonstrate your expertise, evaluate real-world issues, and develop practical solutions to ministry challenges.
