Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts<br />
Pastoral Ministry<br />
2010-2011<br />
One who aspires to be a pastor will be a leader <strong>of</strong> leaders, a preacher and discipler who is skilled in church planting and growth. It<br />
is the most interesting and exciting work in the world. The kingdom need is for people <strong>of</strong> character who are not afraid to deal with<br />
challenge, change, and opportunity. The Pastoral Ministry program prepares graduates for this leadership as senior pastors,<br />
associate pastors, and other key positions. As part <strong>of</strong> the Practical Theology department, we continue the longstanding heritage<br />
<strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong> to partner with the local church to evangelize, disciple, edify and unify believers to maturity in Christ.<br />
Graduates are expected to put factual knowledge to practical use in the ministry <strong>of</strong> the local church or parachurch organization.<br />
Those attending graduate school will have gained the knowledge and research skills required for advanced study.<br />
The practical implementation <strong>of</strong> all factual and intellectual knowledge is accomplished by preparing students who:<br />
1. Use proper exegetical methods and tools to interpret the Christian scriptures with a view toward preaching, teaching, and<br />
church management.<br />
2. Have a system <strong>of</strong> values and beliefs which are scripturally based and result in a wholesome life <strong>of</strong> service and example in both<br />
church and society.<br />
3. Are skilled in preaching, leading worship, evangelism, pastoral care, counseling, and church administration.<br />
4. Have entered into a life <strong>of</strong> spiritual formation integrating vocation, ministry, character, and life style.<br />
