Bachelor of Science in Pastoral Studies

Faith Baptist Bible College has been graduating pastors for almost 100 years! At Christian universities, this is just another program. At Faith, it is the primary reason we exist. All Pastoral Studies professors have real, full-time pastoral experience, are current in their field, and are passionate about preparing you to effectively reach this culture for Christ. We have a vast network of churches all around the world that would love to have you as an intern, and eventually as a pastor on their staff.

The major in Pastoral Studies is structured to provide the best in either preparatory or comprehensive training for the pastoral and preaching ministry. To answer the call of God and fulfill the office of pastor or assistant pastor, a man must obtain sound training. For faithful study and service, there is “a crown of glory that does not fade away.” (I Peter 5:4)

Faith Baptist Bible College & Theological Seminary is a fully-accredited Baptist Bible college located on a 52-acre suburban campus in Ankeny, Iowa.

As a fundamental Baptist institution of Christian higher education, the mission of the college is to prepare vocational Christian workers and ministry leaders for local churches throughout the world. Faith’s motto, “With the Word to the World,” reflects this goal of ministry and service.

We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration by God of the original manuscripts of the Old and New Testament Scriptures, and that they are inerrant and infallible in all matters.

We believe the one true and living God is one in essence, existing as three eternal persons Who are revealed to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, equal in every divine perfection, yet executing distinct but harmonious offices.
