Pastoral Ministry (B.S.)

Students develop the pastoral heart of a biblically educated ministry leader and are equipped to lead others to take next steps through the local church. Pastoral Ministry coursework equips students to lead in an evangelistic gathering, create environments for people to build authentic relationships to inspire life change, create pathways for people to discover their God-given gifts and abilities, and identify and coach others on how to use their passions to make a difference.
