Doctor's degree in Missiology Relief and Development at Assemblies of God Theological Seminary

Who will cast the vision for a new generation of Pentecostal missionaries? Who will study the times and plot the strategies, teach the students and write the books that will shape the hearts and minds of tomorrow’s missionaries? The AGTS Doctor of Missiology Program has risen to serve these leaders by:

Enhancing missionary practice and resources
Preparing participants to teach missiology at any level
Building foundations for training missionaries overseas
Equipping leaders for compassion ministries

The D.Miss. recognizes the priority of the Holy Spirit’s person and power in accomplishing the mission of God (Missio Dei) and creates an environment in which students can experience the kind of learning that connects them more deeply to the Spirit’s work in mission and allows them to focus their program on specific application of their learning in the field.
