| What to Study | Pastoral Ministry According to Ephesians 4:11, evangelists, pastors, and teachers have been appointed in the Church to prepare God’s people for works of service for the building up of the Body of Christ. The focus of pastoral ministry strives to meet the needs for training the personnel to fill these offices. Students are assisted in becoming competent ministers within the community of faith through the development of knowledge, attitudes, skills, and spiritual formation. The goal of such training is to enable students to equip lay people in the local church for works of ministry based on the Great Commission.
