ABOUT THE PASTORAL RESPONSES SERIES

As a school for ministry, we put much thought and prayer into how we form our students as faithful ministers in the mission of Christ to the world. We also seek to further equip those in pastoral ministry beyond seminary to be even more effective in how the Lord is calling them to serve Him. Our intent is to help those engaged in pastoral ministry think about life in the world around us and the sufferings of people.  To that end, for the past several years the Practical Theology Department has hosted a series of mini-conferences entitled “Pastoral Responses…” on a variety of topics, including Church revitalization, faith & work, and pastoral counseling, among others.

Please join us as we explore these pressing pastoral topics.
