Equipping Transparently
Semester 3 Description
As the third & final semester in this three-part training, Equipping Transparently is designed to prepare you with Practicum & Internship along with your coursework in the Five-Fold Ministry & Leadership Training. This is the semester where the tools you have learned as well as the skills you have acquired will be put to use. This is the semester where you will begin to see your 'calling' take shape. As 'Iron Sharpens Iron' in semester 3, coursework will continue, you will be challenged, you will be strengthened, you will be fortified even more as your confidence grows in who and whose your are as led & instructed by the Holy Spirit.
What Is a Ministry Practicum? A Ministry Practicum is serving in the local church as part of a student's overall learning. The purpose of the Ministry Practicum is to encourage students to develop in ministry and to gain valuable and practical experience serving in the local church.
Learn about Sacraments vs Ordinances – what they are, why we observe them as well as when and how to perform them. Come get dipped in the water as you practice ‘How To’ perform baptisms; learn ‘How To’ officiate a wedding and then actually complete one; learn ‘How To’ comfort someone when they have lost a loved one then practice walking through the complete funeral service; sitting in worship service is completely different than overseeing a service – learn ‘How To’ lead the worship service into being just that – pure worship; learn just how sacred Holy Communion is and ‘How To’ serve with love; and much, much more!
