BACHELOR OF SCIENCE (B.S.) IN PASTORAL STUDIES

Purpose and Objectives

The Bachelor of Science degree in Pastoral Studies is designed to train young men preparing to be pastors. Students will be taught to love the Lord and His Word and be trained to rightly divide the Word in order to feed the flock. Students will be required to enter into local churches to experience different kinds of ministries. The emphasis of the program is both academic and practical, as students learn in the classroom and then are guided and encouraged to apply their knowledge in real ministry.

Upon completion of the program the student will be able to: exhibit knowledge of the doctrine and content of the scriptures; understand the pastoral duties of the Lord's Supper, baptisms, funerals, weddings, and counseling; and demonstrate skills in preparation and delivery of expository sermons.
