DMECS was established as a “National Sectarian Educational Program” to support and set standards for the sectarian order, particularly in service to ministry. Our central mission is to train officials and members. We offer a wide range of partnership courses—both marketable and occupational—customized to the needs of our sectarian orders, local churches, and the practical ministries they provide to their communities or those focused on saving souls.
Sixty percent of our programs are delivered directly through local religious partnerships or onsite at business locations. Another twenty-five percent are available online. Ten percent are conducted via mail, and the remaining five percent serve individuals in local, state, or federal institutions. DMECS has no college campus of its own. Instead, we aim to bring the full ecclesiastical college experience to you, wherever you are—regardless of your location or circumstances. That commitment defines our vision for the future of religious education.
We provide or have partnership of ecclesiastical programs and services for religious orders and their members or affiliates in the following states: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Iowa, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
Our degree offerings are limited to programs that serve the core needs of sectarian orders, in accordance with the requests of religious leaders. We do not grant secular degrees, and our staff do not receive a traditional salary; instead, they are supported through a parsonage allowance, in recognition of their service to God.
