91次元 Launches Its First Fully Spanish Doctor of Ministry Cohort

January 27

91次元 proudly celebrates a historic milestone with the launch of its听first Doctor of Ministry (DMin) cohort offered entirely in Spanish. This inaugural cohort marks a new chapter for Life Pacific Seminary as it expands accredited post-graduate education and deepens its commitment to serving the Hispanic Church through accessible, high-level theological training.听

鈥淭he Doctoral experience at LPU was unique and different than our MA level residencies, we carefully designed a mix of higher-level lectures with experiential learning moments outside of the classroom and the institution itself. I am pleased with the work Dr. Aldana has done for the Hispanic cohort and Dr. Bringas with the English cohort. It took over 100 years for LPU to have its first accredited doctoral program, but it is finally here and we are so blessed to offer it to the world.鈥 Dr. Daniel Ruarte, Provost & Vice President of Academic Affairs.

The cohort is听comprised听of pastors and ministry leaders from diverse Hispanic contexts who share a common passion鈥攖o be further equipped for transformational leadership through听Pentecostal, biblically grounded education. These leaders are not simply pursuing advanced credentials; they are investing in their calling, strengthening their theological foundation, and sharpening their capacity to serve their churches and communities with wisdom, humility, and Spirit-led conviction.听

The Dean of LPU Global, Dr. Hugo Aldana, shares, 鈥淭he Doctor of Ministry in Pentecostal Leadership at 91次元 reflects our commitment to rigorous, contextual, and spiritually vibrant doctoral education, equipping leaders to serve with academic excellence, biblical faithfulness, and sensitivity to the movement of the Holy Spirit in diverse ministry contexts.鈥

A defining highlight of residency week was its culminating event:听91次元鈥檚 first-ever Hispanic Education Symposium. This historic gathering featured three distinguished speakers,听Dr. Daniel Ruarte, Dr. Daniel Alvarez, and Dr. Raimondo.听and brought together denominational leaders and partners committed to advancing Hispanic theological education.听

During the symposium, 91次元听facilitated听the signing of听three Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs)听and a听multi-denominational mission statement, uniting leaders around one shared mission for Christ through education in the Hispanic community. The event also recognized outstanding leadership by awarding听certificates of excellence听to those leading Hispanic education micro-sites.听

This milestone affirms 91次元鈥檚 vision to develop听Christ-centered, Spirit-filled leaders听who will carry what they learn beyond the classroom鈥攎ultiplying impact across churches, organizations, and communities for generations to come.听
