Why Study Pastoral Studies through Capital Seminary & Graduate School?
Shepherding God’s Flock
Being a pastor comes with its challenges and rewards. That’s why at Capital, we believe in training up pastors to become servant leaders who focus on creating a ministry centered around the life and ministry and Christ.
Through our program, you’ll learn from pastors with many years of experience, get biblical training on engaging your congregation and deepen your understanding of God’s word.
