About Us

The average seminary student can often be perceived as untrained and disconnected when placed in a real-life ministry setting. Some ministry leaders may not even have had the opportunity to be formally equipped through seminary. With these gaps, there is an increasing demand for specialized training that is both grounded on theology and contextualized in today’s trends.

PACE (Pathways for Accelerating Christian Education) Academy redefines the education process as it provides current and future church leaders expedited pathways to potential accredited degree programs through micro-credentialing of practical ministry skills and knowledge that are often overlooked in a typical seminary.

With the depth and richness of traditional theological training alongside competency-based learning experiences, PACE students are equipped to effectively build ministry opportunities and address issues.

MISSION

PACE Academy aims to bridge the gap that exists between congregational leadership and advanced theological education through hybrid micro-credentials. PACE will be a catalyst of change by providing Advanced Practical Theological Education (APTE), which will equip leaders and lead to thriving congregations that will truly transform the communities they serve.

VISION

PACE Academy’s vision is to accelerate the equipping of spiritual leaders with Advanced Practical Theological Education by offering multiple pathways to meet their needs.
