Leading a local church is jam-packed with challenges because the stakes are so high. Leading a local church is also to operate on the spiritual front line. The Church is God’s Plan A for the world; a Plan B does not exist. In fact, Paul refers to the Church as Jesus’ active body through which He brings about His kingdom in greater measure in the world. Little wonder pastors and leaders/ministers find it tough going.

Through courses in biblical studies, theology, and pastoral care, students gain insight into the complexities of human experience and the role of spirituality in everyday life. You'll practice essential skills such as crafting effective sermons, leading community outreach initiatives, and providing spiritual counseling. As students engage with different perspectives, they strengthen their ability to lead and support diverse communities.
