Presbyterian Church Studies

The Presbyterian Studies Program supports Presbyterian women and men who are in the process of discerning a call to ministry. By mentoring, providing a Reformed and Presbyterian focus, and enriching Brites work through relationships with Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and Cumberland Presbyterian Church presbyteries as well as Austin Presbyterian Theological Seminary, the program seeks to prepare a student to meet all constitutional requirements for ordination or certification to ministry in Presbyterian congregations. The Program embraces students in all degree plans, but focuses primarily on those preparing for professional ministry in local churches as pastors or directors of Christian education.
