The Pastoral Studies major focuses on equipping future pastors with the knowledge and skills needed to shepherd a church congregation and help Christians grow in their faith. Our experienced faculty will guide you in building a strong foundation in biblical theology, understanding the pastoral role, and understanding local church administration.

Outside the classroom, you will experience the practical side of pastoral work through hands-on learning opportunities in local island churches. You will also put your learning into action with summer internships, either in your home country or the United States. Our Pastoral Studies program is designed to prepare future pastors for an impactful ministry serving Christ.
