PMIN 5413 - Ministry Essentials

3 credits

Participants will develop a practical, biblically based foundation for ministry that integrates theology and praxis including Missio Dei, the conducting of sacerdotal functions (communion, weddings, funerals, baby dedications) as well as establishing ethical parameters in pastoral counseling, time management, ministerial ethics, and leadership style. Special emphasis will be given to the divine call of vocational ministry, the attendant challenges of balancing ones spiritual, personal, and professional life as well as interfacing with those in ecclesiastical oversight roles.
