CNCD 921 - A Systems Approach to Leading Congregations: Understanding the Context

3 credits
Explores the ministry context of the participant by a critical analysis of the demographics of the ministry area based on a Ministry Area Profile created by Percept. It will integrate the information from the congregational survey and congregation ministry audit together with the area demographics in order to begin the development of a strategy and plan for leading the congregation into the future. Each participant will carry out a Future Search Conference in his or her ministry context in order to develop five major goals for the future. The student will then begin to work through how, who, when, and what will be needed to accomplish these goals. Building on previous work in CNCD 901  and CNCD 911 , each candidate will develop an 18 month timeline for their ministry that sets the focus for their project-thesis phase of their DMIN program.
