Description
The capstone course provides an in-depth review of topics already covered in the broad fields of Bible theology/history, and the practice and ethics of ministry. Through readings, writing, and discussions, senior students will participate in a process of vocational discernment, which will encourage them to reflect upon their classroom learning in light of their practical ministry work. Students will assemble a portfolio of various elements, such as: a sample sermon, a sample Bible study, a statement of faith, a description of personal formative practices, a statement of their theories and gifts for Christian leadership, and a theological analysis of contemporary social issues. Prerequisite: Senior standing.
