Preaching, Pastoring, and Leading with Faithfulness

At Union, pastoral training is about forming the whole person — not just building a skill set. You’ll be shaped by faculty who are devoted to the local church and committed to your growth as a preacher, pastor, and person of faith — ready to lead with both conviction and care.
