1 P223 MINISTRY TRAINING IN THE LOCAL CHURCH Course Syllabus 3 credit hours R. Kadyschuk, Ph.D. Fall 2011 Introduction Module: September 12 to 16 The missions mandate of the body of Christ to the world is evident in Jesus Go ye... declaration in Matthew 28. The equipping mandate of church leadership to the body of Christ is evident in the declaration by Apostle Paul in Ephesians 4: 11 It was he (Christ) who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, 12 to prepare God s people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up 13 until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. 14 Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. 15 Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Christ. 16 From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work ( ). Pastors and other ministry leaders are called to prepare God s people for works of service (v12). It makes sense to heed this call for two very practical reasons: It leads to functioning and fulfilled saints of God who are growing and serving through their Spirit-empowered giftings. It leads to happier pastors who don t have to do everything to keep the local church going. There will be greater joy in seeing God s people find their place of service in the Church. This course challenges you to explore and adopt new dimensions of attitude, awareness and action towards being a better steward of the equipping mandate given by Apostle Paul. Ministry Training in the Local Church Course Syllabus Outline Page 1 of 10
2 Course Objectives Cognitive In terms of knowledge -to help you to gain a better understanding of: Your own personhood and how that may affect your approaches to exercising leadership with others. The nature of people in the local church and how such dynamics may affect their responses to your attempts to lead and empower them. The presence and role of structures in the local church that may help and/or hinder you in developing leadership in your people. The team approach to ministry in the body of Christ. The content and process of various models for the praxis of training ministry leadership in the local church. Affective In terms of values and attitudes -to help you to gain a better appreciation for: The uniqueness of how God has created you as a leader and has called you to be effective in doing His work in the lives of the body of Christ. The awesome potential there is in a local church to actually fulfil God s purposes through the empowerment of the people. The value and necessity of your own continuous personal growth in awareness of leadership theory, group dynamics, team ministry, etc. Conative In terms of actual behavior: That you expand your ability to lead others into a growing awareness and personal development as ministry workers and leaders in the Church. That you demonstrate this growth through the creation of a plan for ministry training development in your local church. That you participate in an actual training ministry seminar in a Saskatoon local church for two evenings during the module week. Paul said to the young pastor Timothy, And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses, entrust to reliable people who also will be qualified to teach others (2 Timothy 2.2). Your experience in this course should be a building block in your ability to fulfill that Scripture. Textbooks Cordeiro, Wayne. Doing Church As a Team. Ventura: Regal, Forman, Rowland et.al.
