A core of expert practitioners, composed of pastors, counselors, educators, and experienced youth ministers, provides practical ministry training; at the same time, a robust team of theology professors and instructors teach theological education. The program develops authentic, intentional, proficient, and theologically informed ministers, church staff, and lay leaders who serve in a variety of congregational settings.
