STMM 555 - Personal Identity and Pastoral Call

3 credit hours

This course assists students in identifying a ministerial call, their gifts and limitations in the response to that call, and opportunities for growth in answering the call. Adult learning processes guide students in discerning and developing a focus goal for the course. This yearlong course begins with a Fall retreat-like experience, continues as students implement learning contracts in their locations, and concludes in the Spring with a final peer evaluation. Progress is monitored through email updates, final paper and presentation to peers. Prerequisites: STMM 553, STMM 554 and STMM 560.
