Pastoral Ministry
Pastoral ministry in a congregational setting presents many challenges, among them being faithful to the Gospel amidst a constantly changing culture. The Pastoral major equips the pastor for ministry through the integration of foundational and practical courses. A year-long internship must be completed in a congregational setting. Other placements can be made with permission of the major coordinator.
Any inquiries related to the Pastoral major may be directed to the coordinator, Dr. Fred Penney at fpenney [at] tyndale [dot] ca.
