Missional Innovation
Oct. 12-14, 2017
Course Description:
In a world in which the church seems to be losing her influence and pastors struggle to make a difference among the unchurched, the de-churched, and those who are anti-church, pastoral leaders need to adopt a more innovative approach toward ministry. The younger generations will continue to fall away and eventually forget the faith of their parents and grandparents unless men and women of faith choose to become leaders who develop and demonstrate the internal, relational, and future-oriented skills required for creating and sustaining a culture of innovation.
God’s heart for every nation, people group and tribe means His message of faith, love, and hope should be communicated in light of the context.
Course Outcomes:
At the end of this course the student should be able to:
- Understand the innovative approach God employs in His pursuit of humanity and the advancement of His Kingdom.
- Discern the situations in which innovation becomes necessary and the sources of ideas for introducing change.
- Identify methods for implementing innovation and the process for evaluation.
- Determine the skills necessary for creating a culture of innovation.
- Create a plan for effective evangelism and discipleship of one’s ministry context.
Textbooks Include:
- Roland Allen, The Spontaneous Expansion of the Church
- John Burke, Unshockable Love: How Jesus Changes the World through Imperfect People
- Erwin McManus, An Unstoppable Force: Daring to Become the Church God Had In Mind
