Description:

This diploma provides a proven path for individuals who are preparing for vocational ministry, allowing them to receive credentials with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. The essence of Pastoral Leadership is perhaps best described in I Peter 5:2 where we read, ‘shepherd the flock of God that is among you.’ The call to pastoral ministry is a call to lead, feed, guide and protect others. Following the example of Christ Himself, we are called to live lives of humility which are marked by both dependence and confidence. Students begin this journey of discovery, accompanied by practitioners who both model and instruct them on how to live and lead with integrity, skill, and passion.
