It can be completed in three years of full-time study or six years of half-time study. Pastoral mentoring, in-church ministry training, and a 2-credit capstone project are graduation requirements.

Designed for current and aspiring pastors, the program includes advanced studies and mentorship in Bible, theology, and practica essential for preaching, teaching, counseling, and mission ministries.
