Ministry Practicum (BC-416)

Bridge the gap between the classroom and the community. This course provides practical, hands-on ministry involvement where students engage directly in supervised pastoral, evangelistic, or community work.

About This Course

The Ministry Practicum is a vital component of your theological training, requiring a dedicated commitment of 10 hours per week, totaling 160 hours over the full semester. It is designed to take the doctrines, theories, and principles learned in the classroom and apply them to real-world, everyday ministry scenarios.
