Description
CMIN 321. LEADERSHIP AND MINISTRY ADMINISTRATION. This course will focus on some of the nuts and bolts areas of every-day ministry in the parish and parachurch setting. It is a course about ministry behind the scenes. So often we think of ministry as what happens “in the front of the room.” But authentic leadership has to extend to, and attend to, the “dirty work” that makes possible what happens “in the front of the room.” This course explores that “dirty work,” and attempts to prepare students for precisely those behind-the-scene tasks that help define the role of a servant-leader. Topics will include leadership, decision-making, staff relationships, budgeting, legal issues, team leadership, evaluation. Alternate years, spring semester only, three hours.
