Discover Your Purpose
Discover Your Purpose
With Terry King
What is the direction of your life? What will your legacy be? More important, what is God’s purpose, mission for your life? This is a Bible-based look at personal identity. Our goal is to equip the student to write a personal mission statement. Several assessment tools will be used, an opportunity will be given for personal reflection. We conclude with instruction for building an action plan with teaching on goals and scheduling.
Philosophy of Ministry
Philosophy of Ministry
With John Guido
This course will explore the key biblical mandates and foundational priorities established in scripture for ministry in the church and in the community. We will examine the differences between Old Testament and New Testament leadership, covering specific topics like team building, servant, and collegial leadership. We will explore the proper expression and application of spiritual authority and power and together we’ll unpack important aspects of discipleship, conflict resolution, and ministerial ethics.
Spiritual Formation
Spiritual Formation
With Nat Saginario
This course is based on the words of Paul in Romans 8:29. The goal for every disciple is, “To become conformed to the image of His Son.” Rather than starting with a focus on external spiritual disciplines, this course begins by looking at the life of Christ within. Jesus forms a heart for disciplines and perseverance to walk in them. One is inspired to worship, to pray, fast, etc., not because of a commitment on a calendar but by the overflow from Christ within.
