CERTIFICATE IN PASTORAL STUDIES (30 CREDITS)
Description
The Certificate in Pastoral Studies in partnership with the Laval University introduces the student to certain topics fundamental to a general understanding of theology and pastoral intervention. The courses are diversified and touch on the different fields of study of theology. The history of Pentecostalism and the doctrinal distinctives of the movement are examined.
This program, if taken exclusively in English, is offered on a part-time basis only. Students who complete the 30 credits will also receive a certificate in practical theology from IBQ in addition to the certificate in pastoral studies from Laval University. This program meets the academic requirements for a “recognition of ministry” credential with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.
