Welcome to the Pastoral Studies Program of Davis College

Throughout the history of Davis College, practical application of biblical teaching has been the heart of the pastoral program. Graduates from our pastoral concentration are prepared to teach God's Word in a way that is doctrinally sound and applicable to life situations. Affordable, student-friendly, ministry-focused; contact us today to learn more. -- Dr. Gilbert Parker, Chief Academic Officer

 

"The Pastoral concentration at Davis College is designed to prepare graduates for the various duties of pastoral oversight in the local church. Evangelism, missions, administration, worship, preaching and counseling skills are taught throughout the curriculum. Upon graduation, many of our pastoral students enter into a pastoral position either as an assistant pastor or senior pastor. Some students enter seminary for more education and discover that they are very well prepared for graduate study. However, as God leads you, you will discover that a Davis College education prepares you for life and ministry anywhere in the world."

Art Boulet, Class of 2005,  went on to graduate from Westminster Theological Seminary with an M.A. in Religion (Biblical Studies) in 2009.  He is currently working on finishing an M.Div. at Princeton Theological Seminary in order to pursue doctoral studies in the near future.

"My time at Davis cultivated a love for studying Scripture that continues to this day. Learning to read Scripture in Hebrew and Greek opened a new world in learning how to understand Scripture on its own terms. At Davis I was given key building blocks that continue to influence the way I think about Scripture and the implications it has for Christians today." Read More...
