DDM is a one year fulltime programme which is open to those who have successfully completed the Diocesan Certificate of Ministry (DCM). Unlike the DCM, students are expected to join the School of Ministry and Mission fulltime. Applicants without the DCM can be considered provided that he or she has gone through training similar to the DCM in the past. All applicants are to be recommended by their pastor/priest-incharge. We expect students at this level to demonstrate faithfulness in their ministry at the local church and academic competency on par of that of DCM. Application is open now. Please write in to Ps. Lydia Chang for more information: lydiaclm@yahoo.com. Do also write in if you wish to audit some of the above courses.
