Dr. Ronald Walborn, Dean, College of Bible and Christian Ministry.

Thank you for taking the time to check into Pastoral Ministries at Nyack College.  The Pastoral Ministry program is designed primarily for men or women who wish to become pastors, church planters, evangelists, or other ministry related professionals upon graduation, with or without further education. 

“The aim of the Pastoral Ministry Department at Nyack College is to educate with enriching truth, train with foundational skills and impart spiritual gifts in order to bring personal transformation and help each student fulfill his or her destiny in God’s Kingdom.”

Our faculty embraces what we like to call "the two handed warrior" approach to education.  Both spiritual formation and solid intellectual content are necessary for raising up the next generation of pastors and leaders.  Students receive concentrated studies in the Word of God, the essential doctrines of Christian faith and an intentional focus on each person's spiritual and emotional development. Approximately 50 percent of the subjects are in specialized courses in Bible, theology, evangelism, church history, spiritual formation, leadership and other practical pastoral duties.

The co-curricular programs of Nyack College will seek to augment the formal course work by encouraging the development of wholesome spiritual values, the spirit of prayer and evangelism, and the missionary vision essential to the successful pastor or ministry leader.  Students in the Pastoral Ministry major will also earn 3 credits through Christian Service Internships in teaching, preaching, community service or worship leading.  Please take some time to review the information provided on the web site.  Feel free to contact me personally should you have further questions. 

Under the Mercy,
Ron Walborn (ronald.walborn@nyack.edu)
