Introduction
The Department of Practical Theology prepares Christian leaders to serve with intelligence and integrity in ministries that span from congregation to classroom, from spiritual practices to public service. As future pastors, teachers, and civic leaders, students learn to think deeply and broadly about the Christian faith and its relationship to church and world.
The department comprises three areas, which are designed to help students develop a theologically informed and skilful future ministry. Training in speech, communication, preaching, and worship prepares students to preach and teach with sensitivity and grace. Creative Christian education offerings push students to plan a curriculum and imagine new ministry programming. Pastoral care courses expand students' world-views and deepen their listening skills. Classes in congregational ministry help students understand the culture behind the churches they serve while reimagining the future.
