Pastoral Care to Women Programs (PCW)


Effective ministry to women today calls for...

Awareness and understanding of issues that cause pain and hinder spiritual maturity. Sensitive leaders and biblical shepherds who integrate understanding with biblical pastoral care principles.

Foundation of Bible, theology, and spiritual formation on which to build ministry.

The Pastoral Care to Women program provides a balance of pastoral counsel for women, leadership development, biblical teaching, and program planning. The many changes in society and the church challenge us to reevaluate ministry effectiveness. This program prepares students to serve in church, parachurch or community ministries to women.

Students should declare a program when applying to Western Seminary, and are required to specify course status (enrichment, audit, or credit) when registering for a course. Applicants who seek admission to the Graduate Studies Diploma Program, but do not meet admission requirements (a baccalaureate degree), may seek special consideration from the Admissions Committee.
