Well-qualified ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ have been requesting an honorary degree program that allows them to receive degree recognition (title degree) which is based
solely on their significant experience, contributions, accomplishments, and
life training for community and service to God and the support of the TGCM ministry. Therefore, we offer the Doctorate of Divinity (D.D.) honorary award degree program.
