Pastoral Ministry - Bachelors of Religious Education

Overview

Overview

The Bachelor of Religious Education (BRE) is a three-year professional degree designed to prepare students for ministry in churches, parachurch organizations, or missions. This is an excellent degree for those already in ministry or for those planning to become involved in ministry.

The BRE in General Ministries is intended to be a terminal degree for those who do not plan to pursue seminary studies. The recommended program for those intending to proceed to seminary after their undergraduate studies is the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Religious Studies or in any of the humanities or social sciences offered at Tyndale (i.e., English, History, Philosophy, or Psychology).

The Pastoral Ministry focus equips students with the basic tools and skills necessary for pastoral ministry. The focus also facilitates a deepening of Christian character that will result in ministry that equips others to serve in the Church and beyond.
