The course explores congregational programs dedicated to developing mature, involved, effective members in the local church. It will take a detailed look at how congregations encourage lay-people to grow throughout their Christian journeys, from preparing them for active membership in the church (including baptismal instruction, catechism for confirmation, adult membership classes) to ongoing nurturing programs in discipleship, stewardship, and spiritual formation, and finally to missional programs of evangelism/social justice/ethics. A Supervised Ministry placement or approved alternative is required.
