WHAT IS THE PASTORAL TRACK?
The Pastoral Track of the Advanced Certificate in Christian Ministries is a three-year program designed to prepare students for church ministry leadership while gaining a deeper knowledge of the Scriptures. Students in this program will learn how to pastor the body of Christ, prepare church services, and preach behind the pulpit. ETS offers a holistic track that emphasizes theory and praxis for the future leaders of the global church.
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors, and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up
Ephesians 4:11-12
MINISTRY OPPORTUNITIES
Our students have opportunities at ETS to put theory into practice. A deeper understanding of sacraments learned in the classroom, for instance, can be applied immediately directly through class projects and spiritual life activities. Ministerial experience on campus includes training in special services, like communion, baptism, weddings, and funerals. Students leave ETS with a deeper understanding and greater confidence in pastoral ministry.
