Course Description

From the beginning of his ministry, Jesus called and equipped individuals who would serve his community of followers. These "shepherds" are called to preach, pray, and care for the needs of God's people. But what does it mean to be a pastor? And what is the nature of this ministry, according to the Bible?

In the Gospel-Driven Ministry online course, Jared Wilson looks at the qualifications for the pastorate and introduces a gospel-centered approach to the core practices of pastoral ministry, including:

  • Preaching sermons
  • Developing a vibrant prayer life
  • Caring and counseling
  • Family care and self-discipline
  • Leadership dynamics
  • Spiritual warfare and fighting sin
  • Resolving conflict
  • Passing on the ministry to others

This is a comprehensive, practical course on pastoral ministry that prepares new pastors and equips those currently serving for long-term, healthy ministry.

  • Insight into gospel-centered approach for pastoral ministry
