BMIN 5877 - Spiritual Formation for Ministry

This course examines the process of spiritual formation in the Christian life generally and within ministry teams specifically. The course conveys three emphases. The first is discerning how the Holy Spirit works in both individuals and ministry partnerships to conform us to the image of Christ and empower us for mission and discipleship. The second is experiencing regular spiritual practices, both individually and with others, that deepen our experience of the love of God (love), brighten our reflection of the glory of God (honor), and increase our participation in the mission of God (imitate). The third is helping others grow spiritually, both individually and in community. Students will survey the history and theology of spiritual formation, gain exposure to biblical and historical spiritual disciplines, experience spiritual practices individually and in groups, develop a “rule of life,” and consider the most effective ways of fostering spiritual maturity in others with an emphasis on ministry teams.

Credit Hours: 3

Term Offered: See annual schedule published in April.
