As a Pastoral Studies major, you have the opportunity to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for pastoral ministry in a local church.

The required Bible and theology courses will not only familiarize you with biblical content, but will also will provide the backbone for your ministry. You will also develop a broad ministry foundation through courses in spiritual formation, small group ministries, evangelism, and leadership, and then focus on the skills required for effective pastoral ministry through specific courses in preaching, administration, and counseling. As a capstone, you will be required to successfully complete an internship with a pastor.

This major is ideal for anyone who wants to serve God’s people through leadership in a small church or on the staff of a larger church.
