Pastoral Ministries

The Pastoral Ministries program is for students seeking full-time Christian service as a pastor or a member of a pastoral staff. The pastoral courses focus on a philosophy of shepherding and care, meeting people’s needs by discipling them in the Word, and communicating the truths of Scripture from the pulpit.
