The Colleges of SPCU

CAPE provides foundational and advanced coursework in professional development, leadership dynamics, research preparation, and scriptural discovery. It serves as the academic backbone for students across all colleges, offering general education, capstone projects, and the research skills needed for graduate-level work.

CAPS prepares students for the full scope of pastoral ministry — from biblical counseling and trauma care to contemporary parish leadership and scriptural applications. Students develop the theological depth and practical skills needed to shepherd congregations and serve individuals in crisis.

CARE is dedicated to the ministry of Christian education — from Sunday school and Bible school operations to curriculum design and educational administration. Students learn to teach with the anointing of the Holy Spirit, design learner-centered curricula, and lead educational institutions with integrity.

CALL equips lay leaders, community ministers, and transformational coaches to serve effectively outside the ordained clergy. From ecumenical ministry and community outreach to interdependent ministry and discipleship coaching, CALL empowers every believer to fulfill their calling in the Body of Christ.

CAST focuses on the interior life of the minister — ecumenical spirituality, practical theology, and the manifestation of spiritual gifts. Students explore contemplative practices, social networking for discipleship, and the theological foundations of spiritual transformation, emerging as ministers who lead from a place of deep spiritual rootedness.

COPE provides ongoing professional development through the Builders' Academy Colloquia — a series of postgraduate courses that keep ministry practitioners current with contemporary perspectives across all SPCU disciplines. Colloquia are available at four levels corresponding to the highest degree earned.
