This program is designed for students who sense God's call to pastor an existing local church or plant a new one. Such ministry requires a solid foundation in Bible and Theology (42 hours), introductory courses in General Studies (39 hours) and competency in the skills required of a pastor (42 hours). This program includes individual and group mentoring.
Objectives
Upon completion of this 4 year pastoral theology program the student shall be able to:
- demonstrate development of a thoughtful personal philosophy of ministry rooted in Biblical theology and cognizant of contemporary culture;
- demonstrate an understanding of God's specific call on his/her life and an awareness of the gifts, strengths, weaknesses and vulnerabilities he/she brings to pastoral ministry;
- demonstrate an understanding of the Scriptures as well as the many practical and theoretical aspects of vocational Christian ministry;
- demonstrate a basic level of competence in the practical leadership, interpersonal and communication skills expected of pastors; and
