Program Overview
The most consequential questions of our era sit at the intersection of faith, technology, and human identity. This doctoral program prepares scholar-practitioners to conduct rigorous research at that frontier—examining how AI systems shape religious experience, how digital platforms reconfigure community and belonging, and how the Church can provide prophetic leadership in a surveillance-capitalist age. Students engage primary AI research, communication theory, digital missiology, and theological anthropology to produce original scholarship with real-world ministry impact. Designed for leaders ready to advance the field, not just enter it.
