PASTORAL STUDIES CONCENTRATION
The Pastoral Studies Concentration prepares qualified students for leadership and pastoral oversight of the local church. An emphasis on biblical and theological study, and a stress on biblically balanced ministry, equips the student to shepherd the flock and care for its spiritual needs.
If you are passionate about pastoring a local church, this concentration is for you.
I always wanted to be a pastor. When the time for training arrived, Davis College was my choice. I knew them to be a practical, hands-on school of ministry education and experience. That’s exactly what I found. I love serving as a teaching pastor, and I ’m so grateful for the foundation Davis gave me for ministry!
STUDENT OUTCOME OBJECTIVES
- Exercise effective pastoral leadership and general oversight of the local church to enable the church to fulfill its God-ordained mission.

- Develop shepherding skills which will enable the pastor to provide effective biblical counseling and pastoral care in meeting the needs of people.
