When the church entered the 20th century, she fought battles unknown in the 19th century. This specialization focuses on updating and upgrading your skills for pastoral ministry in the light of new challenges.
Pastors are under great pressure to be all things to all people.
This Doctor of Ministry track addresses the person and the tasks of pastoral ministry as the new century dawns. This two-week residency focuses on the person of the pastor as leader. Using standard assessment tools, you will gain insight into your own personality and leadership style. You'll examine how you handle stress, how you manage conflict in your own life and in your ministry context, and how you understand and control your sexual behavior. Ken Swetland and Scott Gibson serve as your faculty mentors during this residency.
