Course schedule and mode of instruction
Pastoral Theory Diploma Program (6 months)
Format: In-person classes
Schedule: Every Sunday, 12:30–3:30 p.m. (3 hours)
Because the course condenses a vast amount of material into intensive lectures, attendance is essential. In the event of an absence, students are required to attend a make-up class. To arrange a make-up class, please contact the school office to receive information about the designated time and place.
Students who miss both the main class and the make-up class for two consecutive weeks may be subject to dismissal from the program. Tuition fees paid in advance will be refunded.
“The fear of [Yahweh] is clean, enduring forever;

Yea, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.”

Pastoral Internship (6 months)
