Our Mission

Practical instruction in leadership and teaching skills are also included in the Certificate’s course of study.

Diploma of Pastoral Studies
The Diploma of Pastoral Studies is the third-year track of the program and is geared for the student who has sensed God’s call to explore even deeper, through seminary study, pursuing bi-vocational pastoral ministry and/or seeking in-church ordination. The four Diploma courses focus on introducing the student to some practical areas of pastoral ministry. This practical emphasis is further enhanced by the pairing of the Diploma student with an experienced mentor.
