The Program for Education and Action for Responsible Leadership
The Program for Education and Action for Responsible Leadership (PEARL) is an innovative and exciting educational program that seeks to meet the theological educational needs of the Black Church and the Black community, while bringing churches and the school into closer cooperation to meet the needs of the world. It is designed to help both lay leaders and ordained clergy lead more effectively in a variety of ministries. A three-year certificate program requiring completion of 12 courses offered in Bible, Church History, Theology and Ethics, and Ministry/Community Studies, PEARL has tracks leading to:
a certificate of study;
a bachelor's degree in connection with Empire State College, State University of N.Y.; or
continuing education credits for M.Div. graduates
PEARL strives to provide practical training during its Saturday held sessions that are easily accessible, affordable and Spirit-filled. Both core divinity school faculty and urban ministry leaders are PEARL teachers.
