Overview

It is essential to have good pastors with adequate training serving in the Church. Hence, our pastoral training programs aim at equipping Christians who are called to serve in the pastoral ministry. Through class learning, liturgical worship, field education, campus and dormitory life, etc., we strive to nurture our students in their theological knowledge, ministerial skills, commitment, and pastoral spirituality, so that they are capable of being leaders and pastors of churches.

Target Students

• Christians who are called to serve in the pastoral ministry.
• Christians who are committed to serve.

Features

Emphasize Both Knowledge and Practice

• Provide comprehensive training via courses in the fields of biblical theology, systematic theology, and practical theology.
• Provide field education in different churches or Christian organizations every year so that students can practice what they learn in classes.
• One of our field education is joining the overseas trip of “Cultural Exploration and Mission” or the “Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE)” launched by designated organizations.

Campus Life and Learning

• Liturgical worship: It is a special feature in our training and spiritual formation. Students not only can experience such beautiful church tradition, being nurtured in it, but also learn the theology behind.
