Church Assessment Program
Additional Required Ministry Formation Components
Church Assessment Program (Required – Non-Credit Ministry Requirement) Students will participate in a guided Church Assessment Program designed to evaluate the health, mission, leadership, discipleship, outreach, and ministry effectiveness of a local congregation. Students will complete observations, interviews, and a written assessment with recommendations for ministry growth and community impact.
Church & Ministry Practicum with Ministry Assessment (Required – Practicum Experience) Students will complete a supervised ministry practicum within a local church or approved ministry setting. The practicum includes hands-on ministry experience, leadership development, mentoring, reflective journaling, ministry hours, and a final Ministry Assessment completed by both the student and supervising ministry leader to measure growth in character, competency, and calling. These two additions would strengthen the practical ministry emphasis of the program and align well with the existing field ministry and apprenticeship requirements already described throughout the catalog.
