MINS301: Pastoral Ministry & Shepherding
3 Credits
Year 2
Associate
Bachelor
Course Overview
Pastoral ministry is built on one foundational image: the shepherd. Jesus is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep (John 10:11), the Chief Shepherd before whom all under-shepherds will give account (1 Peter 5:4). The pastor is an under-shepherd — responsible for the care of sheep that are not ultimately their own. This is both liberating and sobering.
