Focused Area of Ministry
In the first year of study, all students are enrolled together in courses that lay the foundation for theological study. In year two, students are encouraged to select a curriculum track that follows more closely to their area of focused ministry. There are currently five (5) curriculum tracks: Pastoral Leadership, Lay Leadership, Church Administration, Pastoral Care and Counseling, and Social Justices. Ministers who feel called to ordained ministry should select the Pastoral Leadership Curriculum Track. Students who feel called to be better Sunday School teachers and/or ministry leaders with specialized training in areas of urban ministry should pursue the lay leadership track. Please select the track that best represents your ministry goal:
