 The Pastoral Ministry Formation Program is designed to nurture and send forth mature disciples, conscious of responding to their baptismal call, to be heralds of the Gospel in building up the Church of the Diocese of Dodge City.

Pastoral Ministry Formation Program provides solid grounding in theology to empower the laity to become increasingly responsible for the life and ministry of the Church.  It strives to equip the participants for fulfilling the roles to which they are called by their baptism and for which their gifts and the needs of the times challenge them. 

The complete program of study consists of 30 college hours in required core courses and six college hours of electives.
