Pastoral Ministry 

The Pastoral Ministry majors are designed to prepare individuals to serve in the ministry role of senior, associate, and assistant pastor. Individuals intending to work in other areas of full-time ministry, such as evangelist, will also find this major very beneficial due to the practical methodologies and the biblical content of the program. Individuals in the Pastoral Ministry program can choose between a B.A. or a B.S. The only difference is the Greek language requirement for the former degree (the B.A.). Distinctives of the specialty areas for both are the pastoral seminars, ministry practicums, the Ministry of Worship course, and the Church and Social Problems elective. The Pastoral seminars provide for further reflection on one's calling and an introduction to spiritual gifts. The practicums provide for 150 hours of ministry experience within a local church under the supervision of a mentor/pastor. Since worship and social care are key ministry areas and concerns of the church, the worship and social problems classes provide the opportunity to study issues within each and to develop ministry principles based on biblical guidelines.
