Pastoral Ministries Concentration

A Graduate’s Perspective

I loved being a church intern! My internship gave me the opportunity to work under seasoned pastors and be part of their ministry. I have had the opportunity to go on church visitation, door to door, teach in Sunday School, preach in church services, teach in junior church and youth group, work on bus routes, be part of military ministry, and help in many other activities of the local church. I’m thankful for the many opportunities that the Lord has allowed me to be part of. This has been one of my greatest joys while attending college, working in the lives of others now, to gain a greater harvest in eternity — Brad, PCC 2008 Graduate

The pastoral ministries concentration trains young men preparing for the pastorate. The student is taught first and foremost a love and respect for the Bible and how to rightly divide the Word of Truth. Academic teaching is integrated with spiritual application. Principles taught in the classroom are reinforced by example in the ministry of Campus Church and by experience through weekly Christian service activities such as youth work, visitation, hospital and prison ministries, and personal soulwinning.

Each year Bible-believing pastors and evangelists are invited to speak in College chapel and Ministerial Seminar. Students are privileged to hear some of the greatest preachers in America and learn from those who are “doing the job” and are “in the battle.”

Ministerial Seminar: Pastoral ministries students are required to complete eight semesters of Ministerial Seminar, including their last four semesters.

Pastoral Internship Program: PCC provides its ministerial students with “hands-on experience” through a well-designed Pastoral Internship program. Students spend a summer working under the leadership of a seasoned pastor and participate in every facet of a local church ministry including visitation, preaching, and teaching. “Training the next generation of preachers” is more than a motto; at Pensacola Christian College, it is an everyday reality.

Academic Requirements: Students must have at least a “C” in all Bible and Bible background courses. A minor or an evangelism emphasis must be completed.

Evangelism Emphasis: Pastoral ministries students may replace a minor with an evangelism emphasis by earning credit for EE 330 Teaching Bible and PR 341, 342 Evangelism Practicum.

Academic Program Fee: $50 per semester or $12.50 per payment.
