This pathway is designed specifically for students looking to answer the call to serve others through ministry. In addition to classes, the accelerated program includes practical ministry mentorships, regular meetings with a cohort of peers, intentional mentoring for each student, and retreats. Through the program, students receive the mentoring, training, and guidance necessary to become effective and skilled leaders for contemporary ministry.
