About the program
As social media and digital platforms become increasingly ubiquitous, pastors and ministry leaders now have entirely new opportunities for virtual discipleship. Reaching new Christian communities can be facilitated using digital media. This is also a wonderful opportunity to minister to those who are unable to attend church in person. Our digital evangelism and discipleship degree can help you understand and use innovative technology to help fulfill the Great Commission.
Additionally, our doctorate in Christian leadership is designed to aid you in integrating a biblical worldview with leadership and education principles. Liberty University’s Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Christian Leadership – Digital Discipleship (Online) can equip you to lead and manage church and ministry organizations – and your dissertation will allow you to take the principles you’ve learned and develop new materials to contribute to this growing field.
