Kurt Fredrickson is associate dean for Fuller’s Doctor of Ministry and Continuing Education programs and assistant professor of pastoral ministry. Prior to joining Fuller in 2003, he was on the pastoral staff at Simi Covenant Church in Simi Valley, California (40 miles north of Los Angeles) for 24 years, serving as senior pastor for 18 of those years.

As director of Fuller’s Doctor of Ministry program—designed for leaders who are already serving in ministry, many in the church—Dr. Fredrickson utilizes his own MDiv, DMin, and PhD degrees from Fuller, along with his extensive church ministry experience, to prepare students for effective leadership in the twenty-first century.
