Grace-Centered Leadership

Registration for this course will be open from November 1 – December 15

So much of leadership material, both secular and religious, focuses on style, technique, and process. While these things are important and should be studied, they only make sense within a biblical-theological context that stresses the grand indicatives of God’s grace, which shape all the imperatives of leading. Rightly situated, we will come to the conviction that who we are by nature and grace and how we do things are just as important as what we do as leaders.

Theology of Ministry
Dr. Gerrit Dawson
03DM8400 – Charlotte

Registration for this course will be open from April 1 – May 15

Refresh in theology, renew in ministry! Passion for Christ ignites passion for pastoring. Delving deep into the events of the life and ministry of Jesus Christ revives our own work in ministry more surely than any strategy or technique of practice.  Readings and class discussion will concentrate on historic Christology expressed freshly through contemporary authors, each of which draws deeply from the ancient faith of the Church. From this Christological foundation, we will also consider how to a) articulate a renewed personal theology for ministry, b) resolve challenging issues in present ministry contexts, and c) develop practices that foster healthy ministers

Preaching Hebrews & the General Epistles
Dr. Brandon Crowe
02DM8281 – Orlando

Registration for this course will be open from April 1 – May 15

Hebrews and the General Epistles (James–Jude) contain some of the most neglected books in the New Testament. Yet these epistles have a contemporary word for the church today. The purpose of this class is to equip you to grasp the message of these epistles more fully, with an eye to contemporary application. We will thus consider both exegetical and practical issues arising from these texts.
