Program Information

School: Rocky Mountain College
Faculty: Leadership Development
Degree: Bachelor; Online
Field of Study: Pastoral Studies/Counselling
Description: This newly revised program equips students to provide leadership in ministry. The role of a pastor is to “equip God’s people to do his work” (Eph. 4:11 NLT) not to do all the ministry. There is much more to leading churches to effectiveness for the Kingdom than just knowing your Bible and being able to preach/teach – although those are important aspects. This program equips students with a solid knowledge of the Bible and how to properly understand it as well as develop their understanding and skills in leadership and their spiritual character. In addition, students have the opportunity to gain experience through a one-year practicum and to be mentored by leaders who understand how to develop other leaders and teach them how to live life as a pastor.
