A Two-Year Program With Practical Theological Courses, Introduction To Academic Theology, And Internship With A Mentor In A Local Congregation<\/h3>\n

The Practical Pastors and Leadership Program is a two-year program that includes practical theological courses, an introduction to academic theology, and internships with mentoring in a local church.<\/span>
<\/span><\/p>\n

The program is aimed at people who have pastoral and leadership functions in church activities but who do not need a full academic theological education or who do not qualify for academic studies.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Pastor’s Program is organized with a specific congregation, network, and\/or denomination.<\/p>\n

The program is not an academic, theological program. Still, students who wish to continue into a diploma program (one-year academic theological studies) or a bachelor’s degree can include the courses after completing mandatory tests. Upon completing the programme, the student receives a diploma in practical theology.<\/span><\/p>\n
