At Grace Theological Institute, we are committed to providing a rigorous, doctrinally sound, and thoroughly pastoral approach to ministerial training. Our three-year Diploma of Pastoral Theology is designed to help students gain a mastery of the biblical text, develop a robust understanding of systematic, historical, and biblical theology, and gain valuable insights and experience for the task of pastoral ministry.
