Welcome to the Zinzendorf School of Doctoral Studies, the most recent development of Olivet University, initiated to advance our high calling for Christian leadership training. The name itself evokes the heart of the Doctoral programs of Olivet. Our goal has always been to strengthen and help define Christian leadership for global mission purposes.
Our Programs

Doctor of Ministry
The Doctor of Ministry accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education is a prestigious program, designed to advance the candidates engaged in Christian ministries.
The excellent training and skills I have acquired at ZSDS are helping me to be effective in the mission field and to deal with challenges in missional life with a Christ-centered approach. I am very sure that ZSDS will continue to give such opportunities to students to be equipped and to be effective workers for the expansion of God's kingdom!

Apart from being outstanding professors and remarkable theologians, professors at ZSDS profoundly influenced my life as caring spiritual mentors as well. The classes at ZSDS enhanced my biblical world view and widened my perspectives on Christian missions. Furthermore, I was equipped with diverse practical skills to be able to serve as an effective minister of God.
