Mentored Formation Leaders face increasing challenges to competence and character at each level of ministry responsibility. In addition, ministry leaders lead from who they are as much as from what they do. There is never an "arrival point" at which ministry professionals no longer need mentoring or personal formation. The Doctor of Ministry degree therefore requires three credits of mentored formation, including the following components: Rhythms of Reflection MF 1151 1 Cross-Cultural Listening and Learning MF 1152 1 Peer-Mentored Character Formation MF 1153 1 Required Track Courses Doctor of Ministry students choose from a variety of tracks. Each track consists of four courses. Students must complete at least three.
